The college football 2022 season is just around the corner and bettors have already started placing their favorite bets on their top teams. One of the most important conferences for college football is the Big 12.
The Big 12 Conference has several tough teams that continue to perform well. With 12 top teams battling for the top spot, Oklahoma and Kansas are predicted as one of those top two teams to secure the top stop.
Big 12 top prospects
The competition looks tough this season and one of the top prospects is the Oklahoma State Cowboys. Last season, the Cowboys topped the table with an incredible 8-1 conference record.
Overall, the Cowboys have dropped only two games and they managed to win 12 in return. Oklahoma finished one game ahead of the Baylor Bears, but this season is not going to be the same.
Oklahoma State Cowboys
The Oklahoma State Cowboys will be under the guidance of Mike Gundy. The Cowboys have key players like QB Spencer Sanders, Hunter Woodard, Brock Martin, and Collin Oliver.
The sad part is that the Cowboys will be missing out on running back Jaylen Warren, wide receiver Tay Martin, and linebacker Malcolm Rodriguez. OG Josh Sills will also be missing from this lineup. The Cowboys made a key transfer with linebacker Xavier Benson.
Oklahoma will bring back three of their offensive line starters. Preston Wilson, Hunter Woodard, and Cole Birmingham are the other top players for the Cowboys that will return to their squad.
Baylor Bears to challenge the Cowboys
The Baylor Bears were one of those teams that finished just right behind the Oklahoma State Cowboys. Baylor won seven games and dropped only two in return.
The Bears were just one game short behind the Cowboys and they are keen on making up for their loss this season. Baylor won 12 of their 14 games on the season.
The Baylor Bears will be under the guidance of head coach Dave Aranda as they enter this season. QB Blake Shapen, wide receiver Gavin Holmes, Siaki Ika, and linebacker Dillon Doyle are expected to be the key players for the Cowboys.
Running back Abram Smith, wide receiver Tyquan Thornton, JT Woods, and Jalen Pitre will be the key losses to their team. The Cowboys made a key transfer with DT Jaxon Player.
Oklahoma Sooners to finish in the top three
There is no surprise that the Oklahoma Sooners are predicted to finish in the top three spots. The Sooners finished third last time and they have their eyes on the top two spots this time.
Oklahoma won seven of their nine conference games and they won 11 of their 13 overall games on the season. This is going to be a tough season for the Sooners, but they have a good chance for a breakthrough.
The Sooners will enter this season under the guidance of head coach Brent Venables. QB Dillon Gabriel will return to his position alongside Anton Harrison, wide receiver Marvin Mims, and Jalen Redmond.
The key losses for the Sooners will be QB Caleb Williams, running back Kennedy Brooks, linebacker Brian Asamoah II, and Nik Bonitto.
Kansas State’s potential team
Another potential team will be the Kansas State Wildcats. Kansas State was unable to get to the top four but they finished at the fifth spot in the Big 12 conference play.
The Wildcats finished their conference with a 4-5 record and won eight of their 13 games on the season. The Wildcats have good talent and they are predicted as one of the top teams this season.
With top players on each team, the odds to sustain to the end are pretty high since most teams are packed with talent.
Both the Oklahoma teams have performed well and they have talented players on their team to back them. Bettors have already placed their bets on their favorite teams and there is a high possibility for the Cowboys to finish on top.
