The undefeated Cougars are in the most favorable position to earn their way into the conference championship game, though several teams still have realistic chances as well.

After suffering several close losses earlier this season, Kansas is finally resembling the team that was expected to be a Big 12 contender after last year's nine-win campaign.

All is well in Provo as No. 6 BYU continues to skirt the edges and stay undefeated through nine games. Last week, against arch-rival Utah, the Cougars had to once again turn to late-game heroics to escape with a win.
