Big 12 Miles Traveled – All 16 Teams Ranked
Here the team-by-team breakdown of the miles traveled by each of the 16 Big 12 teams this season. The Big 12 Football Championship takes plays Friday, Dec. 4 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. That begins a new Friday-Saturday rotation to “enhance national exposure.”
Our computations are determined from stadium-to-stadium for each game. We measure our distance based on the coordinates of each stadium's site, as noted on Google Earth. We then use Vincenty's inverse formula, which considers the orbital shape of the Earth being flattened at its poles, to determine the one-way and round-trip distances. The calculations are performed by Claude AI.

Big 12 Travel Miles: Breaking Down Odds To Win Conference
Here are the odds to win the Big 12 from both DraftKings and Kalshi. Texas Tech returns as the favorite to repeat as Big 12 Conference Game champion this season. The chart lists each team's coach with his overall record.
Two Big 12 coaches - Morgan Scalley at Utah and Collin Klein of K-State - coach their first regular-season college games this season. Scalley coached the Utes in their Las Vegas Bowl 44-22 win over Nebraska.
The Red Raiders have wrestled with Brendan Sorsby’s status following his transfer from Cincinnati to Lubbock this past offseason. The QB Sorsby took an “immediate indefinite leave of absence” last month before entering a treatment program for a gambling addiction. Sorsby this week sought an injunction against the NCAA that would ensure his eligibility this season.
Before news of Sorsby’s gambling addiction and leave of absence, ESPN had the Red Raiders ranked No. 8 overall in its early preseason rankings.
Sorsby’s status hasn’t prevented oddsmakers from keeping the Red Raiders their top 10 picks to win the national title, or as the favorite to win the Big 12. DraftKings has Tech at +2000 to win the national championship. Traders on Kalshi have Tech with just a 3% chance to win the natty.
