Week 13 will treat us to a Big 12 showdown with conference title stakes.

The Utah Utes (8-2, 5-2 Big 12) sit in the top 15 of the CFP rankings after notching several recent blowout conference wins, but they need to win out and get some help in the form of a BYU loss to score what would likely be a rematch against Texas Tech in the Big 12 title game. First, it must take care of business against Kansas State (5-5, 4-3 Big 12).

It's been a disappointing year for the Wildcats, who were a preseason conference favorite but got off to a 1-3 start. They've been better in recent weeks, however, and are looking to secure bowl eligibility with an upset win.

Utah vs. Kansas State prediction, pick:

On paper, this looks like a game in which Utah could roll. Kansas State has some offensive issues and is not particularly efficient in the ground game. Quarterback Avery Johnson is having a disappointing season, and though Jayce Brown is having a good season at receiver, it's hard to imagine this unit will have a ton of success against a Utes defense that is somewhat vulnerable against the run but has been strong against the pass.

Utah's offense, meanwhile, is getting the job done. Transfer quarterback Devon Dampier has been solid through the air and very productive on the ground, where he and leading tailback Wayshawn Parker helm an efficient run game. It will be tested by a Kansas State defense that remains a strength.

The Utes win by bullying teams in the trenches, and while that would usually portend a good matchup for Kansas State, that may not be the case this year. Utah will pull away in this one, and it will probably do so by enough points to cover.

Prediction: Utah 38, Kansas State 17

Best Bet: Utah -17.5, Over 51.5
