Texas Tech Favored to Repeat as Big 12 Champions

Texas Tech enters the 2026 season as the clear favorites to repeat as Big 12 champions with odds of +100. The Red Raiders, who won their first conference title last season after investing over $25 million in NIL, have bolstered their roster further, making it the most expensive in the Big 12 and one of the most expensive in the country. Despite quarterback uncertainty following Brendan Sorsby's departure due to gambling violations, Will Hammond will step into the starting role for a team that returns 23 starters and added the No. 6 transfer portal class in the country.

BYU sits as the second favorite at +550 after going 12-2 in 2025, with both losses coming against Texas Tech. Other notable teams include Utah at +650 and Kansas State at +1400. bettingx.club
