The Big 12 conference is proving to be a wild ride this season, with no clear frontrunner emerging. While newcomers Houston, TCU, and Cincinnati haven’t made a significant impact, several middle-tier teams are showing promise, with UCF, Arizona, and even Deion Sanders’ Colorado Buffaloes in contention for a title game berth.
The biggest shock of Week 4 was Colorado’s thrilling overtime victory over Baylor. Quarterback Shedeur Sanders and two-way star Travis Hunter continued their impressive performances, but concerns remain about the Buffs’ special teams and offensive line.
Other notable results include Cincinnati’s dominant shutout over Houston, the Horned Frogs’ disastrous 66-42 loss to SMU, and West Virginia’s much-needed victory over Kansas.
With the conference wide open, Week 5 promises to be another exciting round of games. Key matchups to watch include:
* Colorado at UCF
* BYU at Baylor
* Cincinnati at Texas Tech
* Oklahoma State at Arizona
The Big 12 is certainly living up to its reputation for unpredictable and exciting football. As the season progresses, the race for the conference championship is likely to be a tight one.
