| 0:00.0 | It's power rankings time. It is mailbag time. It's Big 12 time. Welcome in. I'm Pete Mundo. |
| 0:06.6 | Heartland College Sports is where you find us covering the Big 12 conference. And we have got that |
| 0:12.9 | rundown of 16 to 1 in the power rankings on this show. And we also are going to get to your |
| 0:18.9 | top questions going into week 12 and the big 12 in the mailbag. |
| 0:24.1 | So get those questions in right now if you're watching live on YouTube. |
| 0:27.6 | If you're here on the podcast, we always appreciate you. |
| 0:30.3 | Just drop that five star rating and review right now on that podcast. |
| 0:35.9 | And hit the like button on YouTube as well. We appreciate you being here. |

| 1:07.0 | At least it was a competitive game for Colorado against West Virginia, but all in all, |
| 1:13.0 | it was still a loss. Colorado is out of contention to reach a bowl game. They have seven losses, |
| 1:20.7 | and it's all about Juju Lewis and the 2026 season. At 14 in the power rankings, UCF, same place they were last week. They had Houston |
| 1:30.3 | on the ropes, man. They, frankly, I think start to finish could have won that game at home. |
| 1:36.0 | Should have won that game at home. The offense struggled mightily in the second half, |
