Episode Details

Oklahoma State and West Virginia square off in Morgantown for what could be the Big 12 Game of the Week. With Mike Hawkins and Drew Mestemaker both making waves at quarterback, the matchup promises high stakes and playoff implications. Could the winner of this clash surge into the College Football Playoff discussion, or will early season stumbles—like Oklahoma State’s loss to Tulsa—haunt their chances?

Jake Hatch, Cody Stovall, Parker Ainsworth, Derek Johnson, and Kevin Borba break down major storylines including Coach Prime’s struggles at Colorado, hot seats for Dave Aranda and Deion Sanders, and which Big 12 teams are real contenders. Key topics: Kansas State’s dominance in the trenches, TCU-UCF’s quarterback situation, conference rankings, and why national attention seems fixated on the SEC. Who will capture the spotlight as the Big 12 race heats up?
