Following their 57-7 victory over Texas Tech, the Texas Longhorns have clinched the #1 seed in the 2023 Dr Pepper Big 12 Football Championship. The Longhorns will finish league play with the best winning percentage in the Conference standings at .889 with an 8-1 record and are currently 11-1 overall.

The Longhorns will be designated as the home team and occupy the South bench. Texas is making its seventh appearance in the Big 12 Football Championship – the Longhorns captured the Conference’s first-ever Football Championship trophy in 1996 and earned titles in 2005 and 2009.

The #2 seed for the 2023 Big 12 Football Championship will be determined during tomorrow’s slate of Big 12 Football matchups. Updated clinching scenarios for the #2 seed are listed below:

1. If Oklahoma State defeats BYU, the Cowboys clinch a berth to the Championship as the #2 seed. This is by virtue of their head-to-head wins versus both Oklahoma and Kansas State.
2. If Oklahoma State loses on Saturday, Oklahoma clinches the #2 seed. This is by virtue of Oklahoma’s win over Texas, giving Oklahoma the tiebreaker over Kansas State due to win percentage over highest placed common opponent (Texas).
3. Kansas State has been eliminated by virtue of the Wildcats loss to Oklahoma State and Oklahoma having the tiebreaker advantage over Kansas State. This outcome is regardless of tomorrow’s results.
