We predicted the outcome of each Big 12 football game during CFB Week 5. Find out how we anticipate Kansas football and other teams to fare.

With four weeks of college football now complete, we have officially reached the one-third mark of the regular season. It’s gone by so quickly, and we’re about to hit the halfway point in less than ten days!

The games that take place this week will go a long way in determining bowl eligibility and final rankings. Although Big 12 football has been a bit disappointing, the conference still boasts a trio of AP Top 25 teams, including a College Football Playoff contender.

Every week, we predict the outcome of each Big 12 football’s teams game. With the non-conference slate finally out the way, we only have league play remaining.

K-State and Oklahoma State are on their byes, and Kansas and Texas will play the first game of the season where both conference teams are ranked.

We will start our Week 5 Big 12 football predictions with the Cincinnati vs. BYU showdown this Friday.
