Big 12 preseason sports rankings

Entities: Big 12 Conference · Texas Tech University · Baylor University · Texas Christian University · United Soccer Coaches

Overview

In early July 2026 the Big 12 released its preseason football outlook, projecting Texas Tech as the leader and noting Colorado's absence from the top tier. In early August the conference issued its women’s soccer poll, ranking TCU first, Colorado second, and BYU sixth, and highlighting three Baylor players on the preseason All‑Big 12 team.

A week later, on August 4, the United Soccer Coaches Association published its national preseason poll for women’s college soccer. The poll placed Big 12 member TCU at No. 6 and Texas Tech at No. 23, giving the conference five teams inside the top‑25. The release detailed TCU’s roster of 12 returners and 16 newcomers, and noted Texas Tech’s core of All‑Big 12 honorees and transfers. These announcements illustrate the Big 12’s ongoing practice of issuing preseason rankings across sports and the broader national recognition of its women’s soccer programs.
