2. No. 13 Iowa State at No. 17 Texas

The best games of this weekend do not fall on Saturday, but on Friday and it starts at noon with the Iowa State Cyclones visiting the Texas Longhorns.

Iowa State is coming off a dominant win over Kansas State and it looks like the Cyclones are playing the best football that they have played all year. Texas has not played consistently from week to week, but this is a chance for the Longhorns to make a play to get into the Big 12 championship game and climb higher in the playoff rankings.

Iowa State quarterback Brock Purdy is finally playing well and if the Cyclones can get the win here, they could be well positioned to get into the Big 12 championship game and make a dark-horse run to the playoff.
