Colorado shut out Oklahoma State in their most impressive defensive display of the season. This is a fantastic way to send off star players Shedeur Sanders and Travis Hunter, who each played one of their best games of the season. Sanders threw for 438 with five touchdowns and one interception. He was 34 for 41 and proved he may be the best quarterback in his class, breaking the school's single-season passing record. Hunter caught ten passes for 116 yards and three touchdowns. He had an interception, which makes this his fourth game with a touchdown and an interception. He locked up the Heisman Trophy selection after his fantastic performance.

Colorado wide receiver LaJohntay Wester caught 11 passes for 175 yards and two touchdowns. He had a 69-yard catch, the longest play between both teams in the entire game. Wester has 322 career catches between his time at Colorado and Florida Atlantic University, which makes him tied for sixth on the all-time receptions list.

Oklahoma State ended the season on a nine-game losing streak. This marks the Cowboys' first winless conference season since 1994 and head coach Mike Gundy's first losing season since 2005.

Result: Colorado beat Oklahoma State 52-0.

UCF nearly doubled Utah in yards but had three turnovers and three failed attempts on fourth down. The Utes had no turnovers and two defensive touchdowns. Utah's offense only scored 13 points and converted one two-point conversion. UCF dominated Utah offensively, but Utah's defense stepped up and forced multiple stops on fourth down and turnovers. Utah's defense has been its strength all season and reminds viewers that defenses can win games.

UCF running back RJ Harvey ran for 119 yards and a touchdown in his final game as a Knight. He ran for 1328 yards and 19 touchdowns this season, the third most yards and touchdowns.

Both teams are not bowl-eligible, and their seasons are over.

Result: Utah beat UCF 28-14.

Baylor finished the season on a six-game win streak. The Bears had 608 total yards of offense while forcing three turnovers. The Jayhawks' three turnovers were by two players: Jalon Daniels, who had two interceptions, and Tevita Ahoefi-Noa, who fumbled. No team can win if they give up that many yards while having that many turnovers.

Baylor quarterback Sawyer Robertson threw for 310 yards and four touchdowns. He has played fantastic since their win streak began and has been a significant factor behind it. Baylor had two running backs rush for over 100 yards, Bryson Washington and Dawson Pendergrass. Washington ran for 192 yards and two touchdowns, and Pendergrass rushed for 104 yards. The Bears scored a touchdown on their first three drives and never relented.

Baylor has a bowl game in the future, while Kansas season ends here.

Result: Baylor beat Kansas 45-17.

Texas Tech receiver Josh Kelly had nine receptions for 150 yards.

Iowa State's win marks its first 10-win regular season ever. Cyclones quarterback Rocco Becht threw for two touchdowns and ran for one. The Wildcats missed a field goal, were safetied, failed to convert on downs twice, and lost two fumbles. Both fumbles left the Wildcats' defense within their own 25-yard line. Kansas State quarterback Avery Johnson threw for 220 yards and three touchdowns. He rushed for 64 yards and had a pitch that was recovered by the other team.
