Winner: Arizona State

It's rare we see a storming of the field and it's even rarer when the field is stormed twice in the same game but, a review added on second onto the clock making the Arizona State students leave the field. The Sun Devils punched their ticket to the Big 12 Championship Game on Saturday beating 14th ranked BYU in the process. It's an incredible turnaround for Kenny Dillingham as he takes the Sun Devils from 3-9 to 9-2 with a chance to make the College Football Playoff. Dillingham is getting the job done with a Freshman Quarterback and a Sophomore leading Receiver which makes the future so exciting.

Loser: Colorado and BYU

The Colorado Buffaloes entered the game with a great chance to make the Big 12 Championship Game as things have played out perfectly over the past few weeks. The Buffaloes quickly relaized that Neal Brown was going to make winning this game very tough. Neal Brown gashed the Buffaloes for 207 yards on the ground and 80 yards through the air scoring four touchdowns in the process.

The Buffaloes got a great game out of Travis Hunter and Shedeur Sanders but, had no run game to complement the passing attack. The Buffaloes no longer control their destiny for the Big 12 Title game which puts them out of their own control for the College Football Playoff.

The loss by Colorado opened everything up for BYU as they took on Arizona State with a chance to punch their ticket to the Conference Title Game. Instead, BYU put itself in a 21-3 hole at halftime which was too much to recover from heading into the final week of the regular season. The Cougars have lost two straight games now and have looked shaky the last three making this game against Houston far from a layup.
