After Colorado's impressive 52-0 win over Oklahoma State on Friday, the Buffs were still not a lock for the Big 12 Championship game. Despite their dominant performance, they would need some additional assistance to secure their spot in the championship. As of Saturday, three other teams in the Big 12 conference were tied with a record of 6-2: Arizona State, BYU, and Iowa State.
If all three of these teams were to win their games on Saturday, it would be Arizona State who would earn the spot in the Big 12 Championship. Unfortunately for Colorado, tiebreaking scenarios would place them in fourth place. However, there were still some potential scenarios that could send the Buffs to the title game.
If Iowa State were to win their game, while both Arizona State and BYU suffered losses, then Colorado would face off against Iowa State in the championship. If Iowa State were to lose, while Arizona State won and BYU lost, then Colorado would face Arizona State. And if all three teams were to lose, then Colorado would play BYU.
For those eagerly anticipating Saturday's games, there were a few key matchups to keep an eye on. At 1:30 pm, No. 16 Arizona State would take on Arizona, with the game airing on KDVR-31. Then at 5:30 pm, No. 24 Kansas State would face off against No. 18 Iowa State, also airing on KDVR-31. And finally, at 8:15 pm, Houston would take on No. 19 BYU on ESPN.
