Heartland College Sports: TCU 38, Kansas Sate 34
Bryan Clinton writes: "While it is closer than many would’ve liked, I think TCU is able to sneak out of Arlington with a narrow victory and lock themselves into a College Football Playoff semifinal. Now, don’t get discouraged K-State fans, the Sugar Bowl is likely your destination with a win or a loss, so you will get a chance to go 2-0 against the SEC in the same season."

Sports Chat Place: Go with TCU to cover vs. Kansas State
Chris Ruffolo writes: "I get the case you could make for K-State. But the thing is that I don’t think we’re getting enough points to consider K-State in the underdog role. TCU has faced adversity time and time against their opponents over the course of the season and while this may be one of the biggest tests to date, I think it’s one that FCU can pass. Give me the Horned Frogs here to keep their college football playoff hopes alive."

OddsChecker: TCU will cover against Kansas State
Jason Radowitz writes: "The pass rush isn't as effective for TCU's defense. But overall, the coverage and run defense have performed better than Kansas State's this year. As long as TCU's run defense comes out with energy in the first half, I've got TCU earning a win for the Big 12 Championship."
Picks and Parlays: TCU 37, Kansas State 28
It writes: "TCU allowed an average of only 17.3 points per game over the final three games and will pick up the victory and earn the Big 12 Championship on Saturday."
