There are a lot of very good conference battles going on as we enter the final few weeks of the 2016 college football season, but perhaps none as intriguing as the Big 12. The Oklahoma Sooners have the edge now, but you have the Oklahoma State Cowboys and West Virginia Mountaineers both breathing down their neck. It’s fair to say at this stage of the season another loss for any of these teams may see their challenge come to an end, and that makes the match-up between the Mountaineers and the Texas Longhorns this weekend one that you need to watch. The Longhorns are a tough team to figure out, as they seem to go from being great one week to awful the next. You never know what you are going to get out of this bunch, but back to back wins suggests that they may have turned a bit of a corner. They will head into this Saturday match-up as a slim 2-point home betting odds favorite over the Mountaineers.
