The undefeated Cougars are in the most favorable position to earn their way into the conference championship game, though several teams still have realistic chances as well.

KU needs a win to keep alive its hopes of returning to a bowl game, while BYU is in the mix for a Big 12 championship and berth in the College Football Playoff. For the Jayhawks to win this game, they probably need to score 30-plus points and not turn over the ball. The offense may have finally found its stride, and if so, that will help.
