Moving forward, it’ll be fascinating to see which teams will battle for the Big 12 title during the first season of a new era for the conference. In Week 1, the conference had some tremendous performances, with teams like the Kansas State Wildcats and Utah Utes looking like true contenders.

Additionally, the Oklahoma State Cowboys and Arizona Wildcats took care of business, but the one team that could shake up the college football world if they made the title game is Deion Sanders and the Colorado Buffaloes.

Time will tell who rises above the rest, but the Big 12 is one of the more unpredictable conferences in America, and that’s never been more true than this season.
