Texas has been chosen as the league’s preseason favorite for 10 consecutive years.

AUSTIN, Texas -- For the 13th time in program history and the 10th consecutive year, the Texas Longhorns were voted the favorite in the Big 12 for the upcoming 2020 season. The preseason poll is determined by league head coaches, who are not permitted to vote for their own team.
