2025 Big 12 Football: Which Underdog Could Shock the Nation and Claim the Title?
Here’s a preseason field guide to the conference with notes, observations, advanced data points and predictions. Teams are listed in the order of their league TRACR ranking.
1. Kansas State
- 2024 final TRACR rank: 1st (4th OFF, 3rd DEF)
- 2025 preseason TRACR rank: 1st (5th OFF, 3rd DEF)
One scary thing: Will the pass rush hold up without edge rusher Brendan Mott, who had 12 adjusted sacks? My guess is yes: Mott was a six-year developmental project, and K-State returns Chiddi Obizaor (eight adjusted sacks) and Tobi Osunsanmi (six). Someone will have to level up a bit for coach Chris Klieman’s squad, though.
