Description: The Big 12 race heats up this weekend with several pivotal matchups as the conference remains loaded with undefeated and strong teams heading into October.The premier game features a battle of unbeatens as No. 11 Texas Tech (4-0, 1-0 Big 12) travels to face Houston (4-0, 1-0). Texas Tech has been dominant, leading the nation in average winning margin, but Houston is riding high with its own four-game winning streak. This clash pits the Red Raiders' high-powered offense against a Cougars squad looking to prove their early success is sustainable in their new conference landscape.Elsewhere, No. 14 Iowa State (5-0, 2-0), the first Big 12 team to five wins, hits the road to take on Cincinnati (3-1, 1-0). The Cyclones have been extremely stingy defensively, but Cincinnati enters with momentum after a thrilling victory over Kansas last week, showcasing a potent offense capable of scoring quickly.Other key conference contests include Kansas State (2-3, 1-1) visiting Baylor (3-2, 1-1) in a battle for bowl eligibility positioning, and Kansas (3-2, 1-1) traveling to UCF (3-1, 0-1) as the Jayhawks try to bounce back from a tough loss and the Knights seek their first Big 12 win. Finally, Colorado (2-3, 0-2) and coach Deion Sanders return to Fort Worth to face TCU (3-1, 0-1) in a game with redemption on both teams' minds.With four undefeated teams still in the mix, this weekend is set to provide clarity in a highly competitive Big 12 title race.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!5-Hour ENERGYEnough with boring, flavorless caffeine, it’s time to give your caffeine a flavor upgrade with 5-hour ENERGY®️ shots.
