UCF at Baylor

Arizona State at Iowa State

- Prediction: Iowa State 27, Arizona State 24
Texas Tech at Kansas State
Saturday, Nov. 1, 12:30 p.m., FOX (stream with FUBO)
Kansas State stumbled out of the gate but has managed to right the ship, now sitting at 3-2 in Big 12 play. Texas Tech’s quarterback Behren Morton isn’t coming to play nice, though.
This one feels like it could go either way, but it should be a fun watch.
- Prediction: Texas Tech 27, Kansas State 20
Oklahoma State at Kansas
Saturday, Nov. 1, 1 p.m., ESPN+ (stream with ESPN+)

Arizona at Colorado

Cincinnati at Utah
Saturday, Nov. 1, 7:15 p.m., ESPN (stream with FUBO)
