![]() It’s that Heisman candidate level of play that gives TCU the edge here. While both teams have strong offenses, TCU has been next level at scoring points and coming from behind, especially off the play of quarterback Max Duggan, who has an eye-popping 24 touchdowns to just 2 interceptions on 2407 yards this season. A win by Texas keeps the Longhorns in strong contention for a spot, with pivotal games against Kansas and Baylor still looming. A win by TCU here puts them at 10-0 and locks them up for a Big 12 Championship Game appearance. I’ve got Tech winning a close one.Ĥ1-38 Texas Tech #4 TCU #18 Texas Saturday, November 12th 6:30 PM CT, ABCĬollege Gameday is in Austin as #4 TCU (9-0, 6-0) takes on #18 Texas (6-3, 4-2) in a game that has massive implications for the Big 12 title race and potentially the College Football Playoff. I do think Texas Tech is good enough to beat Kansas at home, the question will be if they have the focus to get that done. Tech looked pretty decent for three quarters in their last game against TCU, before fading away to a 34-24 loss. But the Red Raiders really need to win this home game against KU to feel good about their odds. That is a highly doable task, as their remaining games are against Kansas, Iowa State, and Oklahoma. ![]() Tech needs to win two of their last three to get to bowl eligibility. The Red Raiders have been on a pretty rough streak, losing their last two games, as well as four of their last five. And the Jayhawks have just that chance to start preparing an early Thanksgiving feast as they travel to Lubbock to take on Texas Tech (4-5, 2-4). Really at this point, any other wins are just gravy for Lance Leipold and KU. Kansas (6-3, 3-3) is going bowling for the first time since 2008! The Jayhawks secured their sixth win by dominating Oklahoma State last weekend, 37-16. Baylor is a 2.5 point favorite.ģ5-31 Baylor Kansas Texas Tech Saturday, November 12th 6:00 PM CT, ESPN+ With that, I like the Bears in this one as they return home for what should be an amped, nighttime crowd. Whereas Kansas State has lost two of their last three games, Baylor is on a three game winning streak, which included two huge road wins. And you know what? Baylor is getting hot at exactly the right time. So there’s plenty to play for with both of these teams. Kansas State would need a slight amount of help, but still have a decent chance of clinching a spot in the title game. ![]() The Wildcats were in a good position for the Big 12 title, before losing 34-27 to Texas. That starts here with a home battle against #19 Kansas State (6-3, 4-2). But that will be no easy task, as they face the top teams in the conference back-to-back-to-back. Baylor is now sitting in a position where they control their destiny in being able to make it to the Big 12 Championship Game. Iowa State is currently a one point favorite.Ģ4-21 Iowa State #19 Kansas State Baylor Saturday, November 12th 6:00 PM CT, FS1īaylor (6-3, 4-2) secured that magical sixth win in heart-pumping fashion, taking down Oklahoma in Norman, 38-35. Will the Cyclones be able to capitalize on a clearly frazzled Cowboys team? I think they might, on the back of one of the conference’s strongest defenses. However, I worry that Oklahoma State may have lost a lot of their motivation, being knocked out of any realistic playoff or conference championship contention. A home game against one of the weaker teams in the Big 12 is probably what the doctor ordered for OSU. Oklahoma State (6-3, 3-3) has already secured their bowl berth but has looked atrocious in their last two games, which saw the Cowboys losing 48-0 to Kansas State and 37-16 to Kansas. Iowa State (4-5, 1-5) secured a BADLY needed win against West Virginia over the weekend, putting them in a position where they have to win at least two of their final three games to achieve bowl eligibility. I like the Sooners in this one by almost exactly that amount.ģ8-30 Oklahoma Iowa State Oklahoma State Saturday, November 12th 2:30 PM CT, ESPNU ![]() West Virginia, on the other hand, got kind of torched by Iowa State down the stretch in their last game, letting up three touchdowns in the fourth quarter to lose 31-14. However, I suspect Oklahoma to come out with more focus after a slew of turnovers and mistakes cost them their game against Baylor last weekend. Still, when the WVU offense clicks they can be a dangerous team. That path seems highly unlikely, with Oklahoma, Kansas State, and Oklahoma State remaining as their final three games. For West Virginia (3-6, 1-5), they would have to win out to secure a bowl berth. This is probably their likeliest path to getting six wins, but no game in Morgantown should be taken for granted. Oklahoma (5-4, 2-4) is one win away from bowl eligibility, which is not a guarantee with three games left on the schedule. This is approaching must-win territory for both of these teams.
