The Big 12 title race nears the finish line with two weeks to play. The Texas Longhorns (9-1) could preemptively clinch their place in the title game with a win over Iowa State.
Saturday’s game is sure to apply pressure to the football team and its fanbase heading into the matchup, but it could equally provide incentive to finish the season with decisive wins.
Several other Big 12 teams face make-or-break contests on Saturday. The Oklahoma Sooners (8-2) face the BYU Cougars (5-5) in Provo, Utah. What was once thought as a potential letdown game appears sure to be a blowout in favor of the Sooners.
Oklahoma State (7-3) and Kansas State (7-3) should be counted on to win games over struggling Houston (4-6) and ailing Kansas (7-3).
Let’s predict the week’s slate of games.
