In today’s edition of First and 16, we break down the latest action from the Big 12 Conference’s weekend slate — including key wins from BYU Cougars (26-14 at Cincinnati) and other meaningful games. We’ll go through what these results mean for the conference title picture, examine how they shape the path to the College Football Playoff, and ask: Can the Big 12 land more than one team in the field? With just a few weeks remaining, the playoff door is narrowing — let’s look at who is peeking through it and who is getting locked out.
We’ll also spotlight scenarios, discuss resume strength, and map the key upcoming games that will decide the Big 12’s ultimate positioning.
