Week 12 college football picks: Who wins the crucial Texas-Iowa State Big 12 battle? Plus A&M-UAB, Baylor-TCU, WVU-OSU and more

This week's game with the biggest implications in the Big 12 Championship race is also the game that our group of experts is most split on. Iowa State will travel to Austin to take on Texas in a matchup that will thin the Big 12 Championship Game contenders group from four to three. That game with a three-point spread in the Longhorns' favor yields no consensus from our pickers. A slight majority thinks Texas will win straight, but a slight majority expects Iowa State to win against the spread.

One local rivalry that usually has experts split is decidedly in one team's favor this weekend.
