00:00Meanwhile, BYU. What is going on here, Bill? I mean, maybe we should be talking about them more.

00:08I know it's been a while to talk about a team in contention here. Are they good? Is this legit?

00:13Well, they have the ninth best odds to win the Big 12. So we're still throwing darts at that

00:17conference. What they were able to do at Baylor, jump out to a 28-3 lead and hold on, essentially,

00:24the Bears came back. But it just goes to show how unpredictable that conference is. I mean,

00:29Colorado's in the mix right now. And I'm being dead serious. I didn't expect Colorado to go to

00:34UCF and do what they did to the Knights and have Travis Hunter squarely in the mix for the Heisman

00:39Trophy with the second best odds. They have some staying power. So all that said, if I had to pick

00:47one team to win the Big 12, and I can do it this week because they don't play Colorado until next

00:51week, I still like Kansas State. They had the meltdown against BYU on the road. But you saw

00:57how they bounced back against Oklahoma State. They run the football well. Avery Johnson is

01:02incredibly talented. And I think the Wildcats schedule is set up, if you look at it, no ranked

01:08teams until the end of the year, or they play the other sleeper in Iowa State, who's allowing 7.3

01:13points per game. So Craig, that's my way of telling you, this race is far from over.
