Who will take home the Big 12 title and receive a spot in the College Football Playoff? Iowa State and Arizona State will battle with everything on the line.
The inaugural season of the expanded Big 12 comes to a thrilling conclusion on Saturday when No. 12 Arizona State faces No. 16 Iowa State at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
Both teams have made remarkable strides this season, with the stakes as high as ever: a conference championship and a spot in the College Football Playoff.This is the first meeting between the two programs, each chasing history. Arizona State, led by head coachseeks its first outright conference championship in school history and a landmark 11-win season. Their remarkable turnaround from a 3-9 campaign last year is one of the best turnarounds in recent memory.
Iowa State also aims for its first Big 12 title after falling short in its 2020 appearance. The Cyclones’ 10 wins are a program-best, showcasing their transformation into a consistent contender under head coach, whose 1,397 rushing yards and 17 touchdowns have been instrumental to the Sun Devils' success. Skattebo’s versatility—he’s the only 1,000-yard rusher in FBS with over 400 receiving yards—makes him a matchup nightmare.
Iowa State’s defense, while solid overall, has struggled to contain opposing ground games. Their ability to limit Skattebo will be crucial to slowing Arizona State’s balanced attack.Jayden Higginshave both eclipsed 1,000 receiving yards, a feat unmatched by any other pair in the FBS this season. QuarterbackIowa State’s ability to protect Becht against Arizona State’s pass rush will be a deciding factor.
Ultimately, Arizona State looks like a team that is destined to win this conference and go to the playoffs. Dillingham will complete this incredible turnaround with a conference title
