Big 12 announces kick-off times for Week 5 matchups
A couple of weeks into Big 12 play and it’s anybody’s conference. If you told anybody before the season began Kansas would be undefeated, while Oklahoma and Texas suffered losses in their opener, they’d call you crazy. But now, the race to Arlington is a whole lot more interesting.
Some interesting matchups are on the schedule for Week 5, with the kickoff times and broadcast information being announced late Saturday night. All three windows will be represented but only one nightcap.

Big 12 kickoff times for Oct. 1
- Oklahoma at TCU 11 a.m. ABC
- Texas Tech at Kansas State 11 a.m. Big 12 Now / ESPN+
- Oklahoma State at Baylor 2:30 p.m. Fox
- Iowa State at Kansas 2:30 p.m. ESPN2
- West Virginia at Texas 6:30 p.m. FS1
Of the five games, four of them will be on national television. Kansas-State Baylor will be behind a paywall, with ESPN+ having the rights to the matchup. As usual, FOX and ESPN are where you can find the others, across their network of channels.
Baylor-Oklahoma State is most likely the biggest of the weekend, with serious Big 12 championship implications being on the line. The Cowboys are coming off a bye, while the Bears took down Iowa State in a statement on Saturday.
It’s a rematch of last year’s title game in AT&T Stadium. Now, McLane Stadium will be the venue for what should be another classic.
Kansas is the sweetheart of the Big 12 at the moment, currently sitting at 4-0. A nonconference win against Duke improved the undefeated record. Iowa State in Lawrence will be the next test, although a Big 12 win is already under Lance Leipold’s belt this season. Jayhawk fans were outstanding on Saturday and will be hoping to replicate it next week.
