Texas Tech enters the 2026 season as the clear preseason favorite to repeat as Big 12 champions and reach the title game, bolstered by a deep roster, strong defensive returning production, and last year's outright conference title plus College Football Playoff appearance. BYU follows closely as the primary challenger, leveraging experienced quarterback Bear Bachmeier, running back LJ Martin, and a favorable early schedule after reaching last year's championship. Houston and Utah round out the top contenders amid coaching transitions and roster continuity. Week 1 results offered limited clarity, with top teams securing expected wins, while the conference's parity and tough nonconference slate keep multiple teams in realistic contention for the two spots in Arlington. Schedule strength and injury management will shape the race through November.
