Iowa State to make first appearance in Big 12 championship game, where longtime champ Oklahoma awaits

Iowa State and Oklahoma will meet in the Big 12 championship game after each team clinched a berth on Saturday.

The No. 9 Cyclones (8-1) will be making their first Big 12 title game appearance in program history. They will also finish in sole possession of first place in the conference's regular-season standings, the first time they've accomplished that feat. On Saturday, the Cyclones dominated West Virginia 42-6 to mark their fifth consecutive Big 12 victory and eighth conference win, both of which are school records.

"It's special, that's for sure, just because of where Iowa State has been," quarterback Brock Purdy said.
