MORGANTOWN, W.Va. -- Halfway through the season, it looked as if the Big 12 was set up nicely to have Baylor and West Virginia face off in the regular-season finale for the conference title.That de facto championship game will be played Saturday, all right. Only its 1,100 miles away from Morgantown with No. 7 Oklahoma hosting No. 11 Oklahoma State.No. 14 West Virginia (9-2, 6-2) and Baylor (6-5, 3-5) couldnt maintain their early success, and now their meeting has nowhere near the flair it appeared to have when each team was 6-0 and ranked in the top 10.West Virginia was eliminated from title contention two weeks ago . The Mountaineers still will earn their highest finish since joining the league in 2012.Baylor has a five-game losing streak , its longest since dropping the final eight games of the 2007 season and then the 2008 opener.We have an option.

Someone asked me that the other day and I just said, `Once you start 40 games and have played close to 50, if someone throws something at me that I have never seen before, then they have reinvented the game of football or something has to be wrong, Orlosky said.TURNOVER TROUBLESBaylor has committed 14 turnovers and allowed an average of 48 points during its five-game losing streak. Right now we need as many possessions as our offense can get, and we need as many stops on defense as we can get, Levels said. Turnovers will be really big in this game.RB CAROUSELLast week at Iowa State, freshman Martell Pettaway lost his redshirt status and became the fourth West Virginia running back to surpass 100 yards in a game this season.
