One of the big expectations for Week 12 in college football was that it would clarify the Big 12 race with some intense rivalry games in the Farmageddon series between Iowa State and Kansas State and then afterward in Bedlam between Oklahoma and Oklahoma State. Those games couldn't help but clarify the race for the Big 12 title as all four teams were at the top of the standings, but the outcomes weren't fiercely contested.
The Sooners have received a boost from getting running back Rhamondre Stevenson and defensive end Ronnie Perkins back from suspensions that occurred at the end of 2019, and with those additions to their rushing attack and pass rush, they are now overwhelming Big 12 opponents.
