Arizona State’s football team’s unexpected success has landed them in the running for the Big 12 Championship Game, despite being predicted to finish last in the preseason polls. The Sun Devils’ impressive turnaround under head coach Kenny Dillingham has seen them rise in the rankings and they are now just one win away from a spot in the College Football Playoff. On the other side, Iowa State also defied the odds by securing a spot in the championship game after being picked to finish sixth in the conference. The game is scheduled for Saturday at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, with Arizona State as a slight favorite. Both teams enter the game with identical 10-2 records and will battle it out for the conference title. Arizona State’s running game, led by Cam Skattebo, has been a key factor in their success this season, while Iowa State’s defense has been solid throughout the year. The game is expected to be a close matchup, with both teams looking to secure the championship title.
