The Kansas Jayhawks lost to the Texas Tech Red Raiders last weekend, but the rest of the Big 12 was in action as well. As we get ready to update our power rankings heading into the weekend, we take a look through all the action that happened in Week 11 of the college football season.

West Virginia 23 - Oklahoma 20

The West Virginia Mountaineers used some late heroics from backup quarterback Garrett Greene to upset the Oklahoma Sooners and keep their bowl hopes alive by the slimmest margins.

The heavy rains kept the offenses in check for most of the day, but a late field goal gave West Virginia the lead and the first win against Oklahoma since joining the Big 12.

Oklahoma State 20 - Iowa State 14

It took a late appearance from injured starter Spencer Sanders for the Oklahoma State Cowboys to score the winning touchdown pass against the Iowa State Cyclones.

Gunnar Gundy threw 2 interceptions in the first three quarters of the game, but the Cowboys turned to their banged up starter to lead the offense in the fourth quarter. Iowa State's Hunter Dekkers threw three interceptions on the day, and the Iowa State offense struggled from start to finish in this one.

#9 Kansas State 31 - Baylor 3

The Baylor Bears were dominated from start to finish in this game, as Deuce Vaughn and the Kansas State Wildcats used a huge second quarter to put the game out of reach.

Will Howard entered the game for the largely ineffective Adrian Martinez and threw three touchdowns. And the Kansas State defense intercepted 2 Blake Shapen passes to end scoring opportunities.

#4 TCU 17 - Texas 10

It was an unexpected defensive struggle, but the Horned Frogs outlasted the Texas Longhorns on Saturday thanks in large part to a 75-yard touchdown run by TCU running back Kendre Miller.

TCU was able to limit the impact of Bijan Robinson, and Quinn Ewers and the rest of the Texas offense was ineffective, allowing the Horned Frogs to flex their defensive muscles to clinch a spot in the Big 12 Championship game and add to their College Football Playoff resume.
