Taking stock of Week 12 in the Big 12:
Team of the week: Down to its third-team quarterback on the road against a top-10 opponent, Baylor showed why it remains one of the best teams in the country. Coming off a loss to Oklahoma, the Bears bounced back to obliterate Oklahoma State in the trenches on both sides of the ball in a 45-35 victory. Jarrett Stidham helped Baylor jump out to a 24-14 lead, and then third-string QB Chris Johnson finished off the Cowboys with a brilliant second half. The Bears kept their College Football Playoff hopes alive.
