Decoding the Big 12's Complex Football Race

The Big 12 conference race is highly competitive with nine teams still in contention for the championship game. Arizona State, Iowa State, Colorado, and BYU are tied at the top with 6-2 records, while five other teams are close behind. The tiebreakers, which favor Iowa State and Arizona State, are complex and depend on the outcomes of the final games. The simplest scenario for determining the championship game participants is if only two of the top four teams win their final matches.
