What Top 25 teams are most likely to play in San Antonio this year?
The Big 12 had a quiet week 11, but a Bedlam matchup between #14 Oklahoma State at #18 Oklahoma will hold major implications for the Big 12 Championship and eventually who will play in the Valero Alamo Bowl.
#17 Iowa State and #22 Texas are both back in action this week coming off a bye and will look to boost their championship chances as well.
The Pac-12 got a later start and have only competed two weeks of play.
#11 Oregon and #20 USC have maintained their spots in the Top 25 after two victories each, but the rest of the conference still remains unranked.
