Made this list last year. We will be judged based on our record against the rest of the P4 conferences. I like to watch these games outside of all the Iowa State games, need to root for our fellow Big 12 brethren. I'll update this with wins/loses throughout the season.

Nebraska neutral Cincinnati
Auburn @ Baylor
Utah @ UCLA
Georgia Tech @ Colorado
TCU @ UNC

Week 2

Arizona State @ Mississippi St
Kansas @ Missouri
Iowa @ Iowa State
Oklahoma St @ Oregon
Baylor @ SMU
Stanford @ BYU

Week 3

Number of games against other conferences:

No time to delve at the moment, seems like XII didn't do all so well vs. P4 in '24. It's possible league performed worse in some years prior, but I recall last season being a bit underwhelming in that regard.

Sometimes, too, "productive wins" can turn to "meh" by end of season.

Edit: Another thing, is this the final season of "Big 12 vs. Big 12 as non-conference game" thing? I think only two this year(?), but that doesn't help anything.

Edit(2): Checked a few teams' schedules: Wins over SMU, Iowa, Arkansas, Mississippi State. Other than SMU, didn't move need much, but at least were W's. I checked only about 1/2 the league, though.
