The Big 12 isn’t short on parity with six different teams playing for a conference title the past three seasons, and 2023 looks to be more of the same.
The deep league got even deeper with the additions of UCF, Houston, BYU and Cincinnati, and though the league might be missing a true bell cow this season, the coin-flip nature of every Saturday looks like it’ll be a lot of fun. So, I thought it’d be nice to make a preseason tier list of the Big 12’s 14 schools heading into the year.

Although the Big 12 is deep this year, the top isn’t as strong as it has been in previous seasons (at least, that’s how it feels here in July).
