Are more upsets coming in the Big 12?
Our panel of prognosticators certainly thinks so.
After three road underdogs won outright last week — and two others very nearly did — we're predicting more mayhem this week.
All three Star sports staffers — Brett Fera, Michael Lev and Justin Spears — believe Texas Tech will upset TCU. Two of the three have Oklahoma State upsetting Baylor.
All of the picks can be found below, including Arizona's home game against West Virginia.
