The 2018 college football season is winding down. However, several conference championship game matchups have yet to be decided. Two teams that still have a shot to play in the Big 12 Championship in Arlington are the No. 16 Iowa State Cyclones (6-3) and the No. 15 Texas Longhorns (7-3).

Kickoff from Darrell K. Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium in Austin, Texas will be at 8:00 p.m. ET, 7:00 p.m. CT on Saturday, Nov. 17. It will be televised on The Longhorn Network and you can watch via WatchESPN if you have TLN on your cable provider.

Both teams are still in the mix to play for a Big 12 championship. Iowa State must beat Texas in Austin, as well as the Kansas State Wildcats next week to reach AT&T Stadium in Arlington. That’s totally in play if they beat Texas on Saturday night after West Virginia lost to Oklahoma State earlier in the day.

Texas’ path to Arlington is a little more complicated. Obviously, the Longhorns will need to win at home versus Iowa State. Plus, the Longhorns will need Oklahoma to beat West Virginia next week to force a Red River Rivalry rematch.

Could either team win this one in Austin on Saturday night? Absolutely. While Iowa State might be the slight favorite on a neutral site given that they are only getting two points on the road, a night game in Austin definitely favors Texas.

Look for this one to go down to the wire, as the winner of this game stands a great chance at making it to the Big 12 championship. However, the loser can kiss a potential conference championship appearance goodbye. This has the chance to be the best game of the weekend on the college football slate.
