The parity-filled Big 12 is back in action and Utah has certainly separated itself after Week 10’s win over BYU. The Utes are just one of two undefeated remaining teams in college football entering Week 11 and things don’t get a whole lot easier for Utah.

After hosting the Cougars, Utah hits the road to take on No. 23 Arizona, which has an outside shot of making the Big 12 Championship Game. There are six Big 12 teams that have two conference losses and these final three weeks could get pretty wild.

There is also Texas Tech, which has one conference loss. But one could turn to two this weekend, playing against Oklahoma State. A Red Raiders loss would make things a whole lot more interesting with two weeks left.

Here’s how things might play out this weekend.

Arizona had a real chance to break free in the Big 12 two weeks ago against Texas Tech. The ‘Cats had chances, but fell 34-26, and will now look for a statement win against a hot Utah team. The Utes just took down BYU this past weekend in Salt Lake, forcing four interceptions by Bear Bachmeier.

Now, Utah has an even tougher challenge. Bachmeier is good, but he’s not a veteran like Noah Fifita. The Arizona gunslinger will challenge this Utes’ secondary, but the big question is going to be if Arizona can slow down Devon Dampier. As of this writing, Utah running back Wayshawn Parker is questionable, and if he doesn’t play, that’s a big loss for Utah.

Final score: Utah 31, Arizona 27

The rest of the games will be quick-hitter style:

  • No. 14 Houston 34, Colorado 24
  • Iowa State 31, Cincinnati 27
  • TCU 24, Kansas State 20
  • No. 10 BYU 27, Baylor 24
  • UCF 30, Arizona State 24
  • West Virginia 34, Kansas 30
  • No. 25 Oklahoma State 41, No. 12 Texas Tech 38
