Iowa State, Kansas State and TCU all have a football game scheduled in Ireland. Texas Tech football going overseas? Don't hold your breath.

Texas Tech has one goal in mind in 2025: Win the Big 12 Championship. To accomplish that, the Red Raiders will lean on a veteran-laced team of four-star transfers and preseason award watch-list returners. The expectations for a program that spent more millions in one offseason than total wins in its head coach’s tenure are beyond sky high.

There aren't many Big 12 defenders that jump off the page in 2025, aside from Clark. Heading into his fifth season, he's one of the most experienced players in the conference at a playmaking position. He's improved every season since taking over the starting role, and I expect him to make impact plays weekly for a TCU team I'm very high on.

Arizona State entered 2024 as the third-biggest long shot in the Big 12 with 100/1 odds. Only Houston and BYU had longer odds coming into the season, and the latter went 11-2 and was one game away from a trip to the title game.

USA TODAY has released record predictions for all 136 Division I FBS teams. Here's how Kansas State is projected to finish:
