Devy Conference Review: Big 12

The new look Big 12 proved to be an incredibly competitive conference in 2024. Four teams tied atop the league with 7-2 conference records, while three others went 6-3. Top to bottom, there was a good deal of balance, even despite the fact annual power Oklahoma State went winless at 0-9.

Arizona State ultimately prevailed in the conference title game over Iowa State, earning a trip to the College Football Playoff where they gave heavily favored Texas everything they could handle. Running back Cameron Skattebo went from an unknown Sacramento State talent to Heisman finalist, establishing himself as a legitimate NFL prospect along the way. He is one of the league’s most notable prospects, but this league is far from bereft of talent despite its diminished reputation. We outline some of the big names and stories below.
