West Virginia took Texas Tech apart and as the Mountaineers continue to make a strong run in the Big Twelve.\u00a0 Is West Virginia the team to beat in the conference?\u00a0 At home next week against TCU will be the biggest game of Dana Holgorsen\u2019s career as a head coach.\u00a0 TCU won\u2019t make it\u00a0easy for Dana and his team.\u00a0\u00a0The following week in Stillwater will not be a must game to win if the Mountaineers take care of the Frogs.\u00a0Win one of two and\u00a0West Virginia will be in good shape.\u00a0 \u00a0Home games with OU and Baylor will tell if it is the year in Morgantown.\u00a0Can they take three of four of these key games and also beat Texas in Austin?\u00a0 The decision is still out.<\/p>\n

Oklahoma bled the Kansas State Wildcats as Joe Mixon showed he is no ordinary running back and DeDe Westbrook proved he is a dangerous big play performer for Sooners.\u00a0 OU is getting better and the OSU visit to Norman could be the game of the year in the conference.<\/p>\n

Texas broke a three game skid with a solid win at home over Iowa State.\u00a0 Baylor smashed Kansas in Waco.<\/p>\n
