4. Oklahoma State at West Virginia – 11:00 – ESPN

Oklahoma State struggled offensively against Texas and was lucky to escape with the overtime win. Don’t expect the Pokes to struggle two weeks in a row. Mason Rudolph and James Washington will look to match Will Grier and David Sills score-for-score through the air. The two boast some of the best passing attacks in the country so bet the over on this game that could see both teams score in the 40s.

3. TCU at Iowa State – 3:30 p.m. – ESPN

TCU is still perfect and would be a playoff team if the season ended today, but Iowa State is the biggest surprise in the Big 12. Second-year head coach Matt Campbell has his team playing great defense and is coming off a dominant showing against Texas Tech’s notorious high-powered offense. Iowa State slayed Goliath earlier when they beat then-No. 3 Oklahoma and will have the slingshot out again this week against Kenny Hill and TCU. This has the potential to be a program-changer for Iowa State if they can get the win.
