Utah tops updated Big 12 title odds before Week 6
With five weeks of the season complete, Utah has moved to the top of the Big 12 championship odds on Polymarket at 30%. Texas Tech is at 19%, BYU at 18%, and Oklahoma State at 15% as the conference race takes shape.
Five weeks into the season, Utah leads Polymarket's Big 12 championship odds at 30%, despite being idle. Texas Tech is second at 19%, down from 33% after a road win in Boulder, where defense has carried a less consistent offense. BYU is third at 18% after scoring 17 in Fort Worth, with a Notre Dame game also ahead.
Oklahoma State follows at 15%, Baylor at 5%, while Arizona and Arizona State are tied at 2%. The Cowboys, revived under Eric Morris, beat Oregon after a Week 1 loss to Tulsa. Baylor has two league wins and a healthy DJ Lagway. Arizona travels to Morgantown; Arizona State returned from London before facing Baylor.
Shifts in Big 12 title odds may shape fan expectations, sports media discussion, and ticket or travel interest around contenders like Utah, Texas Tech, and BYU. Students, alumni, and local businesses in college towns could feel modest effects if high-profile games gain attention. Betting-related coverage may also influence how some fans follow the race, though outcomes remain uncertain and odds are not predictions.
