Utah head coach Kyle Whittingham speaks during the Big 12 NCAA college football media days in Las Vegas, Tuesday, July 9, 2024. The Big 12 has gotten bigger even after the departures of two national champions, with a westward expansion and a "Prime" addition among the league's four newcomers.

Fourth-ranked Texas, the 2005 national champ, is gone after bookend Big 12 titles — in the inaugural 1996 season and its fourth last year to make the College Football Playoff. Only No. 16 Oklahoma has more, winning the league in 14 of the 28 seasons. "It's a transition we made before, although when we went to the Pac-12, we were a G5 school trying to come up a level, which there was a little bit of a curve there that we had to endure," he said. "We feel like we've got a good roster right now, one through 85, and ready to compete in this league."
