Big 12

After a spectacular 2022 season, the TCU Horned Frogs football team is looking forward to next season with the release of the 2023 schedule.

TCU’s unlikely run to the College Football Playoff championship came at a most fortuitous time for the Big 12.

Big 12 Commissioner Brett Yormark joins NBC 5 Sports Director Newy Scruggs to explain what TCU’s appearance in the national championship game means for the conference going forward.

The Big 12 announced their individual and team awards on Wednesday and a handful of the top honors went to Sonny Dykes’ undefeated Horned Frogs squad.

NBC 5 Sports Director Newy Scruggs breaks down what’s at stake in Saturday’s Big 12 Championship showdown between TCU and Kansas State.

The Longhorns beat the Bears on Friday, keeping their chances alive for a shot at the Big 12 title.

TCU, which had already clinched a spot in the Big 12 championship game, hasn’t been undefeated this deep in a season since 2010, when it finished 13-0 with a Rose Bowl victory and No. 2 national ranking.

Fourth-ranked, undefeated TCU already has its spot in the Big 12 championship game, and there are two games left in the regular season, the first of those Saturday at in-state rival Baylor.

The Big 12 has reached an agreement on a six-year contract extension with ESPN and Fox worth more than $2 billion that will keep the conference’s media rights with those networks through the 2030-31 college sports seasons.

The 20th-ranked Longhorns (5-2, 3-1 Big 12) visit No. 11 Oklahoma State (5-1, 2-1) — the game is critical in the conference race.

The Big 12 will operate without divisions in football next season, ending it’s round-robin scheduling framework.

Just about every game in the Big 12 this season has come down to the final minutes. Of the 17 so far, 12 have been decided by 10 points or fewer.

Some things to watch in Week 6 of the Big 12 season include the TCU at Kansas matchup.

Usually all eyes in the Big 12 are on the Red River Rivalry at the State Fair of Texas, but even College Game Day will be focused on No. 17 TCU taking on No. 19 Kansas.

Sonny Dykes is now on the other side of the SMU-TCU rivalry, a 100-game series reinvigorated by two wins he had with the Mustangs before moving to become coach of the Big 12 program on the opposite end of the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex.

Kansas has managed to forge an identity for itself through its first three games — all wins, surprisingly enough — as an offensive-minded team capable of putting up big points without necessarily throwing the ball all over the yard.

There was Kansas State walloping ex-Big 12 rival Missouri to stay perfect through the first two games of the season, and Texas Tech, which beat then-No. 25 and future conference foe Houston to likewise stack two wins together.

When Gavin Holmes weaved through the defense past would-be tacklers and broke free for the end zone on a punt return in the season opener, his Baylor teammates couldn’t contain their excitement.
