On Saturday, these are the games.

Texas hosts West Virginia - Can WV make the Longhorns fall out of first place all-alone. Probably not.
Iowa State hosts Oklahoma State - This is a big game for the Cowboys. Can they surprise I-State in Ames. Doubtful.
Baylor at TCU - Can TCU without Miles stay with Baylor, probably not? But TCU could make a big stand at home to win.
Kansas at Oklahoma - Can Oklahoma's new quicker lineup make a difference against Kansas. Quick seems to bother Kansas. OU might surprise at home on Saturday.
Kansas State at Texas Tech - Tech can be tough in Lubbock. K-State needs to take care of business. K-State probably wins but I can see an upset.
