Big 12 championship race intensifies with five contenders near the top

The Big 12 conference race is tightening as five teams remain within one game of the league lead. Utah currently holds the top position with a 4-0 conference record and a 7-0 overall record. Following Utah, BYU, Texas Tech, Arizona, and Oklahoma State all sit at 3-1 in conference play.

Despite a recent loss to UCF, BYU maintains control over its championship destiny. If BYU wins its remaining games, including a matchup against Utah, it could secure a spot in the title game. The upcoming schedule features several high-stakes matchups between the top contenders, including games involving Texas Tech, Oklahoma State, and Arizona, which will likely result in additional losses for those teams.
