TOP RB

TOP TEAM

 

Iowa State

 

The Cyclones pulled off a huge win on the road at Kansas State and took a big step towards a Big XII Championship Game appearance. ISU will take on Oklahoma in that game with a win over Mizzou or a Colorado loss this week.

TOP GAME

 

Illinois at Northwestern

 

Playing in their NCAA-record fourth overtime game of the season, Northwestern pulled out a victory over in-state rival Illinois to grab their sixth win and become bowl eligible. The 'Cats visit Hawaii this weekend.

 

Runner-Up: Florida at Florida State

 

TOP UPSET

 

Kansas over Missouri

 

A disappointing season got much worse for the Tigers on Saturday. Hosting Kansas, one of just two teams out of the race in the Big XII North, Mizzou went down 28-0 and never recovered, eliminating themselves from bowl contention.
