This game has Big 12 championship race implications. With a victory, Texas Tech, one of the top teams in the Big 12 standings, will remain in the running for the conference title, either one game behind BYU or tied with Cincinnati if they defeat Kansas State and the Bearcats lose to Utah. A victory over a rated, near top-of-the-standings team would greatly increase the chances of Kansas State, which is currently 3-2 in conference play, to still be in the running to be one of the two teams in the Big 12 championship game.
With a significantly better defense that puts them in the top 10 nationally, Texas Tech is enjoying a successful season. Kansas State has won the last eight games in this series, and their last loss to the Red Raiders took place in 2015, nearly a decade ago. Either history is on the Wildcats' side, like it was last weekend against Kansas, or Texas Tech is due for a win over Kansas State this upcoming Saturday.

The games have typically been either blowouts or nail-biters in the past between Texas Tech and Kansas State, with the past two times they have played one another being the exceptions. Many have been very close, one-score games, including some that went into overtime, have occurred, but regardless of the score of the games between the Wildcats and Red Raiders, they have been competitive and entertaining games more often than not.
So whatever fan's plans are for Saturday afternoon, they should make time to sit down and watch this game between two Big 12 teams with high aspirations this season.
