Game Info: Sat, Nov 25 | 6:00 p.m. | ESPN2
Line: Kansas (-6)
Houston | 4-7 (2-6)
Week 12 Result: Oklahoma State 43, Houston 30
One Note: Houston held a 14-3 lead late in the first quarter and had forced a punt after stopping OSU on a third-and-19 in its own territory, but a taunting penalty kept the Cowboys' drive alive and eventually led to six points. OSU would outscore Houston 34-16 the rest of the way.
Week 13 Opponent: at UCF
Game Info: Sat, Nov 25 | 11:00 a.m. | FS1
Line: UCF (-13.5)
Iowa State | 6-5 (5-3)
Week 12 Result: Texas 26, Iowa State 16
One Note: Iowa State managed nine yards rushing against Texas on Saturday night, keeping the Cyclones' offense one-dimensional. Despite a valiant effort from the defense, ISU is now out of the Big 12 Championship race with a third loss in conference play.
Week 13 Opponent: at Kansas State
Game Info: Sat, Nov 25 | 7:00 p.m. | FOX
Line: Kansas State (-11.5)
Kansas | 7-4 (4-4)
Week 12 Result: Kansas State 31, Kansas 27
One Note: With Jason Bean out, Cole Ballard was forced to start against K-State and had a chance to put the Jayhawks ahead late. Unfortunately, an interception in the endzone on fourth-and-five ended KU's final legitimate chance of scoring with just over 5:30 left in the game.
Week 13 Opponent: at Cincinnati

Week 12 Result: Oklahoma 31, BYU 24
One Note: Dillon Gabriel was forced to miss the second half of Oklahoma's final Big 12 road game, leaving five-star freshman Jackson Arnold to step in. Despite the tough environment in Provo, Arnold was able to lead the Sooners to victory and might be up for his first start ever if Gabriel can't go in Week 13.
Week 13 Opponent: vs. TCU

Line: Oklahoma (-11.5)

Week 12 Result: Texas 26, Iowa State 16

Week 13 Opponent: vs. Texas Tech
Game Info: Fri, Nov 25 | 6:30 p.m. | ABC

Line: Texas (-13.5)
UCF | 5-6 (2-6)
Week 11 Result: UCF 45, Oklahoma State 3
One Note: UCF's win sets the Knights up perfectly to make a bowl game, as a win against either Texas Tech or Houston would get them over the six-win threshold. With how they looked against the Pokes, that's more than doable.
Week 13 Opponent: vs Houston
