Colorado and Oklahoma State Face Off

The Big 12 is experiencing a competitive season, with nine teams still eligible for the conference championship as Rivalry Week approaches. Four teams—Arizona State, Iowa State, BYU, and Colorado—hold the best chances to secure spots in the championship, but their futures hinge on weekend outcomes and potential losses from other contenders. Meanwhile, Oklahoma State faces Colorado in a crucial matchup, needing a win to avoid a winless conference season, while the Buffaloes require assistance to qualify for the title game after a recent loss to Kansas. Shedeur Sanders has had a standout season for Colorado, leading in passing yards and touchdowns, while Oklahoma State's defense struggles significantly, particularly against the pass. As Colorado aims to capitalize on Oklahoma State's defensive weaknesses, they hope to secure a victory that keeps their championship hopes alive. The dynamics of these games could greatly influence the College Football Playoff landscape, particularly for the Big 12's chances.
