Texas hopes a final season in the Big 12 ends with a championship. The Longhorns are the preseason favorite to their first league title since 2009 and coach Steve Sarkisian says that is the focus and not their move to the SEC.

The Longhorns are coming off an 8-5 record in 2022.

With Oklahoma heading to the SEC with Texas it will mean the Sooners will play in-state rival Oklahoma State for the final time this season. The Bedlam Series dates back to 1904.

That’s Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy who is not interested in playing Oklahoma in a nonconference series.

They made their comments during Big 12 Football Media Days in Dallas. Iowa State coach Matt Campbell will be at the podium Thursday morning.
