Big 12 Football after two weeks of in-conference play has been shaken up and some teams are ranked higher than many thought they would be. With that being said some teams are on their bye week so they get a rest to let some of their veterans heal. This week will still be full of some fun matchups and hopefully, the newcomers will come away with their first Big 12 Football win.
Oklahoma 5-0
The Sooners defeated Iowa State in a 50-20 victory on Saturday. Oklahoma heads to Texas to take on the Longhorns at noon EST on ABC this Saturday. This will be a great matchup and come down to who has the ball last. The Longhorns will most likely come away with the win handing Oklahoma their first loss of the 2023 season.
Texas 5-0
Texas beat Kansas 40-14 this past weekend. The Longhorns will take on Oklahoma at home this coming weekend. Texas will come away with the win after fighting a close battle all game long.
West Virginia 4-1
The Mountaineers won 24-21 over the Horned Frogs on Saturday to put them at number three in the conference which surprises many after they have sat at the bottom of the Big 12 for many years. West Virginia is on a BYE week so they have time to rest up and get ready for Houston.
Kansas State 3-1
