As expected, the matchup between No. 12 Texas Tech and No. 23 Houston was the game of the week in the Big 12. It came down to the final minute, with Houston quarterback Conner Weigman ultimately being called short of the goal line on the game-tying two-point conversion with 49 seconds left.

West Virginia also pulled off a surprise win, beating No. 25 Virginia by 11 points in the Duke's Mayo Classic to remain undefeated. Arizona State and Kansas gave London a good show with that game going down to the wire. The Sun Devils pulled out the win 24-17 after Arizona State quarterback Cutter Boley picked up a key third-and-five on the last drive of the game to avoid giving the ball back to the Jayhawks.

Here is how the Big 12 standings look after the third

week of the season.
