We're joined by Cody Nespor (@CodyNespor) of WVSportsNow.com, along with the Trib's Baylor beat writer Zach Smith (@ByZachSmith) and sports editor Brice Cherry (@BriceCherry) as the Bears head to Morgantown this week. 

• Let's call it the Big 12 Bowl — two teams face off that reflect the topsy-turvy nature of 2024 in the league. The Mountaineers have won back-to-back road games and the Bears have won three in a row. Anything from 5-7 to 8-4 seems possible for either squad. Where do you see these teams going? 
• Neal Brown seems like a perfect role model for Dave Aranda: He was on the hottest seat last year, then went 9-4 and won a bowl game. Aranda was facing a similar situation in Waco, but now has his Bears on the cusp of a bowl. So what's the feeling toward Neal Brown in Morgantown, and do you think Aranda will be here long term? 
• In the new CFP rankings, undefeated Big 12 leader BYU came in sixth, which would give the Cougars a first-round bye if that's how it ends up. But are Big 12 teams actually rooting for BYU to win out and make some noise in the playoff, for the good of the conference? How are people seeing this? 
• After nine games, who's the biggest Big 12 disappointment and who's the biggest surprise?
