BIG 12 NOTEBOOK Nationally ranked teams hit road for league showdowns

Four Big 12 teams with 4-0 records face crucial away games Saturday as the conference aims to boost standings and secure early bowl eligibility.

  • On Saturday, 11 Texas Tech visits Houston at 7 p.m. ET/6 CT, with the Big 12 featuring four teams starting 4-0, including Iowa State at Cincinnati.
  • Texas Tech Red Raiders' high-scoring offense averages 53 points, testing unbeaten Houston Cougars who allowed 53 points over four games after Tech's three-touchdown demolition of Utah weeks ago.
  • Recent box scores — including Sorsby's 10-yard passing day and Cincinnati's 37-34 rally at Kansas — show momentum shifts.
  • Scheduling decisions — including trips abroad — have tangible effects on teams' paths to bowls as Iowa State Cyclones can clinch eligibility early after starting overseas in Dublin, Ireland.
  • The Big 12 is again sending games to Europe, including the first-ever Union Jack Classic between Arizona State Sun Devils and Kansas Jayhawks at Wembley Stadium, London on Sept. 19, 2026, and TCU Horned Frogs opening in Dublin, Ireland.
