Here are the Big 12 football tiebreakers for the expanded conference in 2024

The Big 12 announced its tiebreaking policies for the conference’s 2024 regular season on Friday.

Tiebreakers will come into effect to determine which teams reach the Big 12 Championship game if teams finish with the same conference record through nine games.

The league also reaffirmed that previously scheduled nonconference games between two Big 12 schools will not count toward the conference record. That means Utah and Baylor, who play Saturday, as well as next week’s Kansas State-Arizona matchups, will not impact the league standings.

D – The tied teams will be compared based on combined win percentage in conference games of conference opponents.

E – The tied teams will be compared based on total number of wins in a 12-game season.
