Big 12 Predictions For Every Remaining Game: Texas Tech, and Who Else?
© Thomas Shea-Imagn Images

Who's stopping Texas Tech?

It rocked Utah, rolled through Houston, and it's playing better than anyone in the Big 12 with a 5-0 start. It also helps to miss Arizona, Baylor, Cincinnati, Iowa State, and TCU.

But who else is in the mix? It's not surprising for a league that was wide open coming into the season, and it's living up to all the expectations.

Big 12 Season Outlook and Game-by-Game Predictions Before Week 7

Big 12 Season Calls and Predictions Going into Week 7
- @PeteFiutak

- To start, assume Oklahoma State, West Virginia, Colorado, UCF, and, okay, Kansas State are out of the chase, for now. Any of these teams can go on a run and make things interesting, but they're all off to a tough start.

- BYU is still the unknown wild card. It's 5-0 - the only unbeaten team, along with Texas Tech, but it hasn't looked amazing. It's still an unknown, but the date at Arizona will be interesting.

- Arizona State at Utah will be one of the biggest games of the season. Even though the Sun Devils are unbeaten in conference play, the loser of this will likely be out.

- Texas Tech has to go to Arizona State in two weeks. As good as the Red Raiders have been, if the Sun Devils beat the Utes, and then keep it going, this all changes.

- Cincinnati has thrown its hat into the ring after the win over Iowa State. It should go on a run with UCF and Oklahoma State up ahead, but there's a trip to Utah, and ...

- Could it all come down to the regular season finale? Cincinnati at TCU should have a major say in the season pecking order.
