Rankings from AP Poll

The 2012 Tulsa Golden Hurricane football team represented the University of Tulsa in the 2012 NCAA Division I FBS football season. They were led by second-year head coach Bill Blankenship and played their home games at Skelly Field at H. A. Chapman Stadium. They were a member of the West Division of Conference USA (C-US). They finished the season 11–3, 7–1 C-USA to be West Division champions. They defeated UCF in the C-USA Championship Game to become C-USA champions. They were invited to the Liberty Bowl, where they defeated Iowa State to avenge an season-opening loss.

Last meeting was in the 2005 Liberty Bowl. This will be the first regular season meeting not as conference members as their meetings between 1999 and 2002 were as members of the Western Athletic Conference.

Tulsa has lost the previous 17 meetings dating back to 1977.

This is the second time this season the Golden Hurricane and Cyclones will meet. The Cyclones won the season opener 38–23.
