GAME OF THE WEEK

No. 3 TCU Horned Frogs vs. No. 13 Kansas State Wildcats When — 12 p.m. Where — AT&T Stadium TV — ABC WHAT’S AT STAKE?

TCU has already made a strong case to be in the four-team College Football Playoff, but would leave no doubt with another win over Kansas State. The Horned Frogs won 38-28 in the previous meeting Oct. 22, after K-State led 2810 midway through the second quarter in Fort Worth. The Wildcats can reach 10 wins for the first time since 2012, when there was no Big 12 championsh­ip game and they shared the regular-season title with Oklahoma. Kansas State's last Big 12 title game was in 2003, a 35-7 win over then-undefeated and No. 1 Oklahoma at Arrowhead Stadium.

KEY MATCHUP

Max Duggan vs. Will Howard. The QBs who weren't even starting at the beginning of this season won't go directly against each other, but the Big 12 title could be decided by which one plays better. Duggan took over in the season opener and is the Big 12 leader with 3,070 yards and 29 TDs passing, and only three intercepti­ons. Howard, who started 10 games the previous two seasons, didn't take a snap until Adrian Martinez got hurt. Howard has 13 TD passes in his five games.
