Arizona State's Shocking Big 12 Victory
The most INSANE underdog story in college football history just happened - and it was so shocking that an entire conference had to change their rules because of it! Arizona State entered their first Big 12 season as the ultimate laughingstock. Every single expert, analyst, and poll had them ranked DEAD LAST in the conference. Not second to last. Not bottom three. DEAD. LAST. But head coach Kenny Dillingham had the perfect response: "I could care less what anyone thinks." And then they did the impossible. This team that was supposed to be the worst in the Big 12 didn't just have a decent season. They didn't just surprise people with a few wins. They went out and WON THE ENTIRE CONFERENCE CHAMPIONSHIP. From dead last to conference champions. From afterthought to playoff team. The story was so unbelievable, so completely against every prediction and expectation, that the Big 12 Conference literally eliminated preseason polls the following year. Think about that - an entire Power 5 conference changed their rules because one team's Cinderella story was THAT shocking. This is what happens when a team has nothing to lose and everything to prove. When everyone counts you out, sometimes that's exactly the fuel you need to prove them all wrong. Arizona State didn't just win games - they rewrote the rulebook on what's possible in college football. The ultimate David vs Goliath story that changed college football forever.
