There wasn’t much news for the Texas Longhorns over the weekend. All four of the teams they are chasing in the race to the Big 12 title game were on a bye. West Virginia, Texas Christian, Texas Tech and Baylor were the teams in action. The Longhorns get ready for Kansas this week in the first of their final three games to close out the season.

Their goal is simple, win out and hope you get a little help in getting a Big 12 Championship game berth. The upcoming week will hopefully clear up the picture a little bit in terms of who will and who won’t be in the race for the title game.
Chris Low of ESPN produced his weekly power rankings in which he has four teams from the Big 12 listed. Here is how it all breaks down according to Low.
No. 24 Texas Longhorns
At least five teams are still alive in the Big 12 race, including Texas. The Longhorns were off this week after winning three in a row. Their two defeats were heartbreakers — a 53-45 loss in four overtimes to Oklahoma and a 33-31 loss to TCU — although they’ve been better on defense of late. Two of their final three games are on the road, but the pivotal matchup will be at home against Iowa State the Friday after Thanksgiving.
