Rankings from AP Poll

The 2007 Dr. Pepper Big 12 Championship Game was held on December 1, 2007 at the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas, and pit the divisional winners from the Big 12 Conference: the Missouri Tigers, winner of the North division against the Oklahoma Sooners, winner of the South division.

Per Big 12 policy, the Big 12 North Champion was declared the home team this year because the game is scheduled to take place in a home state of a Big 12 South team. Designated "home" teams previously were 8–3 in Big 12 Championship Games.

The Big 12 South representative in the game was the Oklahoma Sooners. This was the 114th year of season play for the Sooners who led by head coach Bob Stoops, a two-time Walter Camp Coach of the Year award winner. The team was led on offense by quarterback Sam Bradford, and played their homes games at Gaylord Family Oklahoma Memorial Stadium in Norman, Oklahoma. The team finished their regular season 10-2 (6-2, Big 12), with their losses against Colorado and Texas Tech.

The Big 12 North representative in the championship game was the Missouri Tigers. The team was coached by Gary Pinkel, who returned in his seventh season with Mizzou, and played their home games at Faurot Field at Memorial Stadium. Quarterback Chase Daniel in his junior year led the Tigers to their first Big 12 Championship Game. The Tigers ended the regular season with a record of 11-1 (7-1, Big 12), with their only loss coming to Oklahoma
