The Big 12 title race is down to the final lap as a handful of teams vie for one of two spots in the title game. Two teams emerged as favorites on Saturday.
We’ll start with Oklahoma State, perhaps the biggest surprise of the season. The Cowboys started the season 2-2 with a 33-7 home loss to South Alabama and road loss to Iowa State. We might of wrote them off, but they didn’t quit.
Since those losses, the Cowboys are playing as well as anybody in the Big 12 conference. The Pokes secured wins over Kansas and Kansas State before knocking Oklahoma out of first place in the Big 12 this week.
We predicted an Oklahoma State victory over Oklahoma but not in the way the game unfolded. The Cowboys defense clamped down on the Oklahoma Sooners offense and won 27-24.
Let’s rank Big 12 teams heading into the final three games of the season.
