Big 12 Roundup: Upsets, Close Calls Create More Chaos in Conference

The chaos of the 2024 season in the Big 12 continued in Week 8 with some upsets and close calls on Saturday.

So aside from Kansas State destroying West Virginia 45-18, what else happened around the conference?

Colorado beat WVU’s next opponent Arizona 34-7. 

TCU won a low-scoring game against Utah, 13-7.

Iowa State escaped a close call against UCF, winning 38-35.

Baylor upset Texas Tech, 59-35.

Kansas won their first conference game of the season 42-14 over Houston.

Cincinnati took down Arizona State, 24-14.

BYU defeated Oklahoma State, 38-35.

Back to WVU….

For anyone who thought the vibes couldn’t get any worse for WVU fans, think again. Mountaineer Nation erupted in anger and disappointment while watching West Virginia be dominated by Kansas State on Saturday night.

The loss sunk WVU to 3-4 on the season, triggering a new low for the 2024 Mountaineers. West Virginia now heads out west for a long road trip and the first matchup as Big 12 foes with Arizona next week.

On Sunday, the Big 12 announced that WVU’s next game against Arizona at Arizona Stadium in Tucson, Arizona, will be televised on FS1 at 7 pm ET.

Also on Sunday, DraftKings set Arizona as a slim favorite in their opening line. The Wildcats are currently listed as just a 1.5-point favorite.
