Chris Klieman is doing something special in Manhattan. He’s taking a program built by Bill Snyder and turning back into a threat in the Big 12.

Final Score: Oklahoma State 37, Kansas State 28 (9-2, 6-2)

Sam Ehlinger will struggle early and battle back late, but it won’t be enough as Chuba Hubbard has one of the best games of his career and Spencer Sanders becomes a Cowboy legend after leading his team to a monster home win over Texas to earn a bid in the conference championship game.

Final Score: Texas 30, Oklahoma State 35 (10-2, 7-2)
