The Arizona State Sun Devils bring desert heat and high-energy football to Tempe, playing at Mountain America Stadium under the shadow of Sun Devil Stadium's famous 'A' mountain. The program has a history of dominant eras, from Frank Kush's 1970s powerhouse teams to a recent surprise run to the College Football Playoff. ASU's identity is built on toughness, speed, and periodic flashes of true national contention. Now in the Big 12, the Sun Devils have proven they can compete for championships on a new stage.
Arizona State has fielded a football team since 1897 and has won 18 conference championships across the Border Conference, Western Athletic Conference, Pac-10, and Big 12. Under coach Frank Kush, the Sun Devils won five consecutive WAC titles from 1969-1973, going 50-6 over that stretch. After joining the Big 12 in 2024, Arizona State stunned the league by winning the conference championship in its first season, punching a first-ever ticket to the College Football Playoff. That run capped one of the more remarkable turnarounds in recent college football.
