In the 2018-19 college football season, the Big 12 Conference produced 26 selected players in the NFL Draft, 11 of whom were chosen within the first three rounds, second-consecutive Heisman Trophy winners, and of 10 teams, only three (Kansas State, Texas Tech and Kansas) lost more games than they won.
Of the seven teams with winning records, all made bowl games and four came out with victories, including Baylor’s 45-38 win in the Academy Sports + Outdoors Texas Bowl against Vanderbilt.
Big 12 Commissioner Bob Bowlsby clarified that 2018 wasn’t the only year of post-season success, yet it was defining for the conference.
