The Big 12 Conference had perhaps the most interesting week of any conference in college football in Week 4.
How its games affect the polls ahead of Week 5 remains to be seen.
No. 10 Utah vs. No. 15 Oklahoma State on Saturday — on paper, the headliner of the Week 4 schedule — saw the Utes without starting quarterback Cam Rising. However, Utah backup quarterback Isaac Wilson helped lead the Utes to a 22-19 win vs. the Cowboys, whose 16-point surge in the fourth quarter wasn’t enough to overcome a slow start.

Elsewhere, West Virginia outlasted Kansas (and a weather delay) to beat the Jayhawks 32-28 in Morgantown, West Virginia. TCU fell 66-42 to nonconference rival SMU in a game that saw Sonny Dykes ejected from the contest.
But perhaps no team had a wilder finish than Colorado, which beat Baylor 38-31 in overtime, which was necessitated by a last-second Hail Mary, premature field storming and forced fumble in OT, courtesy of Travis Hunter.
