Which Big 12 Games Should You Watch: Week Two

You've had one week of football under your belt, and most teams either play their cupcake game this week or increase the intensity with their opponent. So, which games should you be watching?

Oklahoma State head football coach Mike Gundy runs on to the field in the first half of the college football game between the Oklahoma State Cowboys and South Dakota State Jackrabbits at Boone Pickens Stadium in Stillwater, Okla., Saturday, Aug., 31, 2024. / SARAH PHIPPS/THE OKLAHOMAN / USA TODAY NETWORK

Last week, in my Which Games Should You Watch? article, I went 2/4, so for the season, I sit at a respectable .500 record. However, the games will only get tougher as the season goes on, so let's break down which games you should focus on this week.

Big 12 Week 2 - Must Watch Games

#16 Oklahoma State vs. Arkansas

Same as last week, Gundy likes to start the season slow, and Ollie Gordon looked rusty last week. Arkansas is looking to make some noise this year, and what better way than to travel to Stillwater and upset the Pokes?

Colorado at Nebraska

The Buffs just barely escaped week one with a win over NDSU, an FCS team, which, to Colorado's credit, is an extremely tough team to play for an opener. Nebraska looked good under Dylan Riola and has something to prove this season with Head Coach Matt Rhule.

Iowa State at #21 Iowa

Ah, el classico. There isn't much I need to say here honestly, this game is always pure chaos, and that's what college football is about after all right?

#11 Utah vs Baylor

This is a weird matchup because it is not a conference game. They were previously scheduled and couldn't find replacement teams, so they kept the matchup on the schedule. It isn't the only one this season (Arizona vs. Kansas State). Baylor had a much-improved offense last season, but can they keep it up this week?

Big 12 Week 2 - Just Keep Track of the Scores

#17 Kansas State at Tulane

Two years ago, this was a challenging game, and it will be an actual road test for Kleiman and Co.

#19 Kansas at Illinois

Kansas looked good last weekend under Jalon Daniels, but going on the road to Illinois is no easy task; the Jayhawks will have to grind this one out.

BYU at SMU

SMU looked much better compared to their Week 0 matchup, and BYU is in a rebuilding phase, but if SMU has another slow start, this could get interesting.

Texas Tech at Washington State

The Red Raiders had quite the scare against Abilene Christian, and one look at the injury report for this matchup suggests that it could be much closer than most fans think it will be.

Big 12 Week 2 - Only Look For The Final Score

• Arizona St vs. Mississippi St
• #20 Arizona vs. Northern Arizona
• Houston at #15 Oklahoma
• UCF vs. Sam Houston
• West Virginia vs. UAlbany
• Cincinnati vs. Pitt
• TCU vs. Long Island
