Utah is undefeated, BYU faces a massive Holy War showdown, and Arizona and Texas Tech are fighting to keep their playoff hopes alive. We break down the Big 12 playoff scenarios for Utah, BYU, Arizona, Texas Tech, Houston, and Oklahoma State. Can Utah survive its remaining schedule? Does BYU need to beat Utah to make the CFP? Could Arizona win out and secure an at-large bid? And should Texas Tech consider replacing Will Hammond with Tommy Castellanos?
