Arizona State secures Big 12 championship spot with historic turnaround.
Arizona State clinched a place in the Big 12 Conference championship game on Saturday night, marking a stunning achievement after a 10-2 regular season capped with a rivalry win over Arizona earlier in the day. Other conference results confirmed their spot in the Dec. 7 title game at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
Under head coach Kenny Dillingham’s leadership in his second season, ASU defied preseason predictions that placed them last in the conference. The team tripled last year’s win total, driven by a strong defense, running back Cam Skattebo’s standout performances, and a dynamic offense featuring Sam Leavitt and Jordyn Tyson.
Ranked No. 16 in the latest playoff standings, the Sun Devils are now poised for their first College Football Playoff appearance. A conference title win could boost them to a top-four seed, potentially earning a first-round bye.
For the first time since their 2013 Pac-12 title game appearance, ASU fans are embracing the dream season, with many sharing their excitement for the program’s resurgence.
