Tonight
Baylor (5-3) plays at Texas (6-2). If Baylor wins, both are 6-3.
ISU (6-2) plays at TTech (1-7). If Tech somehow wins, ISU is 6-3.
Tomorrow
KSU (6-2) plays at KU (5-3). KU wins and both are 6-3.
WVU (1-7) plays at TCU (5-3). TCU wins and goes to 6-3.
Of these, realistically I think KU and TCU will win. Baylor/Texas is a toss up and I don't think Tech stands a chance vs. ISU. That more realistic scenario would leave ISU and maybe Texas at the top at 7-2 with a big logjam at 6-3.
Of course KU plays in Ames on Saturday, so the road doesn't get any easier. Also it's going to be very difficult for me to root FOR Baylor tonight. I think this might be a "hope a meteor hits the stadium" game.

WVU (1-7) plays at TCU (5-3). (8:00 PM ESPNU) TCU wins and goes to 6-3.

OKSt (3-5) plays at OU (2-6). (8:00 PM ESPN2) Not a factor in the first place struggle NotO details, but added here to complete the weekday games schedule -- HE

Great summation, NotO! Thanks!
I edited your comment above as noted as it saves me some time later today prepping my post for the KSt @KU game.
I will note that I agree with both KU and TCU winning, and I have a feeling that Baylor in Austin will be the only road win during the week. Before they played so poorly at mOO I would have given the ISU @TT game to the Cyclones, even though it is in Lubbock. But after Saturday, I think Tech has got a chance to get 'er done.
Fingers crossed your Gordian knot emerges over the next 34 hours!
