The Big 12 has rapidly evolved into one of the most deep and competitive football conferences in the country, especially with recent additions that have strengthened its national presence. With powerhouse programs like Oklahoma State, Kansas State, and the dynamic newcomers from the Pac-12, the conference boasts elite competition. But one of the most intriguing additions is BYU, a historically strong football program that brings with it a unique mix of tradition, talent, and a passionate fanbase.
BYU’s entry into the Big 12 signals an expansion of the conference's geographic reach, stretching into the Rocky Mountain region and solidifying its national appeal. BYU has long been known for its consistent football program, with a history of producing NFL talent and competing at the highest levels. Their 1984 national championship and multiple conference titles over the years have cemented them as a formidable program. The Cougars are no strangers to playing tough, competitive football against top-tier opponents, and their independent schedule prior to joining the Big 12 has prepped them for the rigors of conference play.
This depth across the board in the Big 12 ensures that every week feels like a battle, with no easy victories. Programs like BYU, Texas Tech, Baylor, and TCU bring their own unique styles of play, from high-octane offenses to gritty, defensive-focused teams. This variety keeps the conference exciting and unpredictable, adding to the overall competitiveness of the league.
BYU’s rich football tradition, combined with the depth and quality of competition in the Big 12, creates a conference that’s exciting to watch and difficult to dominate. Week in and week out, fans can expect hard-fought matchups, making the Big 12 one of the most competitive football conferences in the country.

As a long time BYU fan I just want to tell everyone to hold your horses. BYU almost always comes out of the gate strong, then the injuries start piling up, there is no depth and the back half of the season fizzles. Utah always has a stronger bench and they are just a QB away from a strong finish. Nice to see a conference that is so evenly matched. It seems like almost any given game could be won by either team

@prestonbeck4192 6 часов назад

True, but I will say we’re deeper now than we’ve been in a long long time.

@tazplatyrl 5 часов назад

I think this year is different. We have more depth than we’ve ever had. Our problem before was being G5 or independent but now that were part of a conference no matter if it’s lost its prestige or not, we finally have the ability to go after depth. I’m not crossing my fingers but I’m a believer for now

BYU fan here. None of us are sold that this team is very good. We seem to have made it to 5-0 in the least convincing fashion possible. KSU win? Points off turnovers that cant be relied upon. Stellar defense? We shit the bed against Baylor and cant stop anything they did after the first quarter. Retzlaff fixed his decisiin making? Two picks, one of which was a horrible throw. ARod's play calling is suspect, again. Our RB room is full of glass dolls that can't stay healthy. Anyway, 5-0 is great, but 5-0 like this doesn't feel great.

I'm not a BYU fan but I told everyone it was going to be a bad year for BYU even if they weren't in the big 12 based on everything they lost but BYU doesn't stay down for long. It's like you guys have a cycle where you're really bad but you slowly build to be pretty good over 3 to 4 years than you're bad again. Rise and repeat so this isn't a surprise to me other than the win against k-state.

How many Big 12 teams do you think will make the playoffs? How I see it turning out is 8 teams from SEC/B1G, Boise, ND, ACC & Big 12 champs. It sucks if we can only get 1 or MAYBE 2 teams in. If you were Yormack, what would you do to try and get more representation from the Big 12? Could we start playing 4 non conference games like the SEC to inflate win totals and rankings?

@mmiller73 8 часов назад

Let's keep the expectations for BYU in check. Yes they are 5-0 but in nearly every game there have been serious issues that will likely come back to bite them eventually. Also, injuries are piling up and depth is going to be a serious issue down the stretch. If they can win 3 of their last 7 that will be a noteworthy achievement for their second year in the Big 12.

@ashleyh.2523 9 часов назад

Drake might need to start charging BYU fans for these therapy sessions because I just realized that our superpower might also be our curse. As soon as he said: "BYU fans need to stop deferring questions about playoffs," my immediate thought was: "But Drake, pride always precedes the fall." Just like every time he says "Fire A. Rod!" My internal dialogue is: "But Drake, he's got a family." I don't know if that facet of BYU culture can be fixed because I'm not sure it's indicative that we're broken. BYU fans will show up regardless of 5-0 records, and the team will always sing the fight song with us after every game, day or night, rain or shine, win or lose. So basically, in today's therapy session with Drake, I realized that we don't HAVE to win to love our team - and the cycle continues...

Arizona in my opinion is now the Big12 Power Ranking #1 in my mind--remember that Kansas State game wasn't a Big12 standing game--this could be an interesting factor going forward. Second, I love how many are dumping on Utah right now--just understand Utah's best football is yet to come. We've played our Freshman backup mostly and played probably our most difficult stretch with now just getting a loss 5 games in. Cam Rising will be returning eventually(my prediction is the ASU game) and our potential definitely hasn't been reached--in other words Utah is going to rebound, and in my opinion, exponentially stronger.

Third, not first. That's not including Tennessee. Oregon or Penn State is 3rd in the Big 10. And that's not seriously dissecting either conference.

Hey Drake Coaches Corner in Thunderbolt has power You should do a remote from there if the power doesn’t return today

As a byu fan, byu is NOT the 2nd best team in the conference. Not even close.

@romebigred2 12 часов назад

As a BYU fan, I agree we're not #2... But we're weirdly not as far behind as I thought.

@someguy9169 12 часов назад

Oh 100% in my opinion, I feel we're at most a top 5 team in the conference AT THE MOMENT. We're all just waiting for our regular byu plays like running the ball on 3rd & 7 or throwing games like we almost did with Baylor. (That call still baffles me)

This team looks a hell of a lot more put together than every other team I’ve watched (haven’t seen an Iowa State game yet). Offense looked good at times, and that defense was reliable

@cts7648 2 часа назад

Are you watching the other teams though? So far BYU had looked pretty dang good. Who would be #2 in your book?

The fact that you want even mention CU is just crazy ain’t no team in the Big 12 playing like CU defense and they going to beat Kansas st they got lucky in two of they outings cu wins 38-10

He mentioned two Heisman quality players and ranked them at 4

I think the Utes are still at #2 behind Iowa state.

@lorenzohaynes3886 12 часов назад

They're not. Cam Rising is the great hope that doesn't play.

@scottbush8266 11 часов назад

@@lorenzohaynes3886I think even without Cam Rising they’re currently #2 in the conference behind Iowa state. Then BYU, then Colorado, then Kansas state. I would put BYU higher but I just can’t see BYU winning the conference this year, whereas I could see any of the other teams I just listed winning it.
