The Big 12 released its football schedule for the 2025 season on Tuesday as the league enters its second season with a full 16-team roster. With a spot in the College Football Playoff on the line, all eyes will be on how the race in one of the most chaotic conferences in college football plays out. 

The first week of the year is huge for the Big 12 as it attempts to establish itself as a national fixture with some key nonconference clashes. Colorado hosts a potential preseason top-25 team in Georgia Tech, while TCU hits the road to play North Carolina in the Tar Heels’ first game of the Bill Belichick era. Baylor plays at home against an Auburn team with high hopes in the SEC. 

Once conference play begins, the Big 12 promises to be extremely competitive once more. Four teams finished with at least seven wins in conference play last season, and seven posted a record of at least 6-3 by year’s end. At one point, so many teams were in contention for the Big 12 Championship Game that there were 256 possible scenarios in play with just two weeks left in the regular season. 

Arizona State and Iowa State will meet in a 2024 Big 12 Championship Game rematch on Nov. 1. A week before that, on Oct. 25, Iowa State hosts BYU in another contest that could go a long way towards deciding the final pecking order.
