The Texas Longhorns (5-2) travel to Stillwater to face the Oklahoma State Cowboys (5-1) this weekend. The game has significant implications for the Big 12 title race.
In most seasons, the title game features teams with two losses or less. Although chaos could result in a three-loss title game participant this year, no two-loss team is a lock for a spot in the championship game.
Since both teams have already dropped a game in conference play, Saturday’s bout could be the deciding factor in who plays in the final game. The two biggest competitors for a title bid face each other on the same day.
Kansas State (5-1) travels to Fort Worth to face the undefeated TCU Horned Frogs (6-0). Neither team has dropped a conference game this season.
Let’s look at the most likely championship scenarios.
