Against the spread and moneyline selections went 4-3. However, we lost the lock (and almost nailed exactly how the Utah game would go), and totals went 3-4. But now we have reached the end of the regular season. These college football seasons grow up way too fast. There are still two tickets up for grabs in the Big 12 week 14 winners.

The Big 12 week 14 winners get started early on Friday with Utah looking to close out the season on a high note. After avoiding disaster in (possibly) Kyle Whittingham\u2019s home final game as Utes head coach, they are still holding onto slim playoff hopes. While they still need some help to sneak into the playoffs, the Utes must send a message to the committee that they are worthy of at-large consideration.

Both Kenny Dillingham and Brent Brennan have done terrific work with their teams. Each coach has had to overcome a distinct set of challenges, and both are 8-3 heading into the last game of the season. Teams with identical records in a rivalry game should translate to a very closely contested affair to the bitter end. But this total seems fairly low. Neither team is dominant on that side of the ball. In addition, neither team will play conservatively on offense. The Wildcats find a way to claw back the cup from their rivals. Plus, the Big 12 Week 14 winners lock of the week comes with a total of plenty of points, as the desert should see plenty of scoring.<\/div>\n<div><strong>Moneyline: Arizona ATS: Arizona Total 48.5: Over<\/strong><\/div>\n<h3><strong>#5 Texas Tech (-23.5) At West Virginia <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong>How To Watch:<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Date and Time:<\/strong> Saturday, Nov. 29th at 12 pm EST<br \/>\n<strong>Television:<\/strong> ESPN<\/p>\n<p>Given the result of the previous game, Texas Tech will be heading to the stadium already knowing that they are playing for a Big 12 title.

Dave Aranada, while it was announced he was returning next year, appears to be just a placeholder for the new athletic director to hire their own coach. This Baylor offense has been muted (for their standards) as they have not scored more than 30 points in their last four games. They have lost three of those four games by a combined 72 points. Yes, the Bears should be fighting for their bowl life in Waco. But Willie Fritz\u2019s Houston team wants to punctuate a remarkably successful season with a road win.

The downfall of this program should prove to be a case study for any program of how quickly things can drop off if the program doesn\u2019t evolve with the times.
