Kansas State Eliminated from Big 12 Championship

Kansas State's hopes for a Big 12 Championship were dashed after a disappointing 24-14 loss to Arizona State, effectively ending their playoff dreams. Meanwhile, Arizona State's victory puts them in a stronger position, now sitting just one game behind BYU in the Big 12 standings with a chance to secure a championship spot if they win their remaining games. The loss by BYU to Kansas adds to the competitive landscape, creating a four-team race for the two championship berths. Arizona State must now navigate a complex tiebreaker scenario if they finish tied with other teams. In a separate game, UNLV showcased their dominance with a comprehensive win over San Diego State, keeping their own championship hopes alive in the Mountain West Conference. As the college football season progresses, teams are increasingly focused on playoff positioning and potential tiebreakers.
