Big 12 Championship Winner - My Pick

The 2025 Big 12 Championship Game was a defining moment for the Texas Tech Red Raiders, who secured their first-ever Big 12 title with a decisive 34-7 victory over the No. 11 BYU Cougars at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. Despite falling behind 7-0 early after a 10-yard touchdown run by BYU's LJ Martin, Texas Tech dominated the remainder of the game, scoring 34 unanswered points.

The turning point came in the second half, where the Red Raiders' defense forced four turnovers, including two interceptions by Most Outstanding Player linebacker Ben Roberts. Offensively, quarterback Behren Morton threw for 215 yards and two touchdowns to Coy Eakin, while running back Cameron Dickey added a score on the ground.

The victory not only crowned Texas Tech as conference champions but also secured them a likely No. 4 seed and a first-round bye in the upcoming College Football Playoff.

How to Bet on the Big 12 Championship

When looking to bet on a team to win the Big 12 conference title, it’s vital to look at their returning production, transfers coming in, transfers lost, and recruiting class. A team who retains a majority of their core is in a great position to build on their success, especially if they are coupled with a great recruiting class. This helps lessen the amount of variance in their contests, especially early on when a team is still trying to establish their identity.

Another factor to consider before placing a wager on a team to win the Big 12 is their strength of schedule. With the top two conference records moving on to the conference title game, an easier schedule drastically increases a team’s chances of moving on. Especially if they possess an easy non-conference schedule as it gives the team a chance to iron out their kinks and reconfigure their lineups to help maximize on their efficiency.

How to Read Big 12 Championship Winner Odds

Before placing a wager on the Big 12 conference winner market, it’s important to know how the listed odds work. If you place a $100 wager on Utah to win at their preseason odds of +750, then a $100 wager would profit you $750 if they win the title.

If you wait to see if the Utes make it to the Big 12 conference championship and are listed with a minus sign in front of their odds (-125 for example), then you would need to wager $125 to profit $100. Make sure you line shop before placing any type of wager as the odds for the same market can drastically vary between each sportsbook.

Big 12 Championship Winner History

The Big 12 has seen plenty of parity over the past few years as no one has won two straight conference titles since Oklahoma did it in 2015-2020. Speaking of the Sooners, they led the conference with 14 conference titles before they departed for the SEC Conference. With Oklahoma gone, the Baylor Bears are now the new current leaders with three total titles.
