As is customary, the final AP Poll for the season is released after the national title game, finally giving fans a look at how their teams finished among the Top 25.
On Tuesday morning, Big 12 fans got a look at how the conference stacked up with the other leagues after the 2024 season.
Arizona State finishes as the highest-ranked Big 12 team at No. 7, up three spots from No. 10 in the previous AP Top 25 Poll. The Sun Devils finished the 2024 season with an 11-2 record and took Texas to double-overtime in an unforgettable Peach Bowl earlier this month.
BYU is the next Big 12 team on the list, rising four spots to No. 13 after finishing with an 11-3 record and a dominant win over Colorado in the Alamo Bowl. Kalani Sitake is set to return a ton of production for next season’s team, too, making the Cougars a team to watch in 2025.
Iowa State (11-3) is the next Big 12 team and checks in at No. 15 in the final AP Poll. The Cyclones are up three spots after a 42-41 win over Miami (FL) in the Pop-Tarts Bowl and also return several key pieces for Matt Campbell in 2025.
Colorado managed to stay in the Top 25 after its lopsided loss to BYU, coming in at No. 25 after being No. 20 before the bowl season.
