The Big 12 announced its 2025 conference championship football game will kick off at noon ET on Saturday, Dec. 6 from AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. The game will be televised on ABC.

The 24th Big 12 Championship Game will be the 11th straight held inside the home of the Dallas Cowboys. That includes twice in 2009 and 2010 when it was still called Cowboys Stadium.

Last year’s Big 12 Championship game was the second-consecutive blowout, with 15th-ranked Arizona State and RB Cam Skattebo routing 16th-ranked Iowa State, 45-19, in front of an in-person audience of less than 56,000 people. That was the Big 12 championship game’s smallest crowd since the 2020 COVID season and fewest ever (not counting the 2020 season) for the game inside AT&T Stadium.

The year prior, No. 7 Texas rolled over 18th-ranked Oklahoma State, 49-21. It was the Longhorns’ final season before joining the SEC. Then, the Big 12 football title game had a record attendance of 84,523 people.

Among the Big 12’s current membership, Colorado and Kansas State are tied for the league lead with four all-time appearances in the conference championship game. Meanwhile, half of the new-look Big 12 has never appeared in the league title game: Arizona, BYU, Cincinnati, Houston, Kansas, Texas Tech, UCF, Utah and West Virginia.

Arizona State, Kansas State, and Texas Tech currently have the best betting odds at +600 to win the Big 12 championship, according to FanDuel. Baylor and Utah are just behind them at +650.

Big 12 conference win-totals: Ranking odds released for 2025 college football season

The college football season is still a few months out. However, with the Transfer Portal largely in the rearview mirror and spring practices a thing of the past, teams are taking shape, and the Big 12 appears to be one of the most competitive conferences in the sport for the 2025 season.

Ahead of the season, the folks in the desert have shared win totals for every team in the Big 12 this upcoming season. They’ve also shared the odds that those individual teams are able to go over that projected number of wins. Of course, with a few months before the regular season actually begins, there is still time for more changes.

Here’s a look at how the Big 12 projected win totals, according to FanDuel, shake out. In it, all 16 schools sit between 5.5 wins and 8.5 wins for their projected 2025 season totals.

1. Texas Tech Red Raiders – 8.5 wins
2. Kansas State Wildcats – 8.5 wins
3. Arizona State Sun Devils – 8.5 wins
4. BYU Cougars – 7.5 wins
