Arizona State's Kenny Dillingham leads his team to a successful season culminating in a Big 12 Championship and College Football Playoff appearance.

Arizona State head coach Kenny Dillingham has quickly turned the Sun Devils into a Big 12 powerhouse. Despite a heartbreaking 39-31 overtime loss to Texas in the College Football Playoff, his second year at the helm is being widely recognized as a resounding success. In a game that showcased the grit and resilience of his team, Arizona State battled back from a 16-point deficit in the fourth quarter to force overtime against the Longhorns.

Although Texas ultimately prevailed with a touchdown in the second overtime, the Sun Devils’ performance left a lasting impression. One of Dillingham’s most notable supporters in the aftermath of the game was Colorado head coach Deion Sanders. Coach Prime took to social media to praise Dillingham and his team, stating, 'We are proud of u and your team.' Sanders’ public endorsement highlights the mutual respect growing within the Big 12 as the conference seeks to establish itself as a major contender in the national landscape. You represented all of us from the @Big12 well my brother. We are proud of u and your team. God bless u all. You’re awesome COTY. Dillingham’s rise has been meteoric.

The Sun Devils’ 45-19 rout of Iowa State in the title game secured a spot in the College Football Playoff, capping off an 11-win season – the school's best campaign since 1996. Their path to the championship game wasn’t easy. Arizona State won five consecutive games to close out the regular season, including two victories over ranked opponents. This impressive run earned Dillingham the Big 12 Coach of the Year honor, edging out Sanders for the accolade. While Sanders’ Colorado Buffaloes fell short of the Big 12 title game after a late-season loss to Kansas, his vocal support for Dillingham reflects his growing influence beyond Boulder
