The Big 12 is undergoing drastic change and the 2023 football season is a pivot point for the conference. Oklahoma and Texas are in their final year in the league before splitting for the SEC while BYU, Cincinnati, Houston, and UCF are entering the conference as newcomers. Those elements makes for an interesting race to the Big 12 title game in December.
Each team in the Big 12 will play nine games on its conference schedule like they have in year’s past, but it won’t be a perfect round-robin format with 14 teams now in the league. There are no divisions in the Big 12, so the two teams that finish with the highest winning percentage in conference play will face each other in the conference championship game.
Here are the latest standings in the Big 12 ahead of the 2023 Big 12 Championship Game, scheduled to be held at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, TX, on Saturday, December 2.

Big 12 Tiebreaker rules
Two teams tied
Three (or more) team-Ties
In the event of a tie between more than two teams, the following procedures will be used. After one team has an advantage and is “seeded”, all remaining teams in the multiple-team tiebreaker will repeat the multiple-team tie-breaking procedure. If at any point the multiple-team tie is reduced to two teams, the two-team tie-breaking procedure will be applied.
