Iowa State vs Kansas
Why to watch: There's a ton on the line for both teams, especially since Colorado lost to Nebraska. A Husker win and an Iowa State victory over Kansas puts the Cyclones in the Big 12 title game against Texas. A KU win over Iowa State puts the Jayhawks in a bowl, most likely the Fort Worth Bowl. If Colorado beats Nebraska, Iowa State still has to win to make sure it doesn't slide in the pecking order of bowl teams. 8-3 is a lot more attractive than 7-4. The hottest Big 12 team outside of Austin, Iowa State has won four straight to turn around its Big 12 season after a rough 0-3 start. KU has had two weeks off to lick its wounds after getting drilled 66-14 by Texas.

Why Iowa State might win: Outside of the stunning explosion against Nebraska, the KU offense has done absolutely nothing in Big 12 play, and can forget about running the ball on the KU run defense that's allowing fewer than 100 yards per game. KU is 104th in the nation in turnover margin while Iowa State is fifth; KU isn't going to get the breaks it needs to beat a team playing as well as the Cyclones are. In its last four games, Iowa State hasn't allowed a team to score more than 17 points, while KU has scored more than 17 once since September 17th.

Who to watch: ... Bret Meyer can stay hot. It's no coincidence that the return of Hicks three games ago coincided with the improved play of Meyer. In his last four games, Meyer has thrown nine touchdown passes and no interceptions highlighted by a 371-yard, four score passing day at Texas A&M. He has found his groove and is playing like the quarterback many expected he'd become.

What will happen: Iowa State is playing far too well on both sides of the ball for Kansas. The Jayhawk defense will rebound from the Texas game, but the offense won't hold up its end of the bargain.
