Big 12 football standings, results after Week 4 of 2026 season

Things are starting to take shape in the Big 12 after 10 teams had their conference opener this week. Not surprisingly, Utah defeated Iowa State, although the Cyclones kept it close. 

Oklahoma State dominated West Virginia to hand the Mountaineers their first loss of the season, while Colorado had another dismal offensive performance in their loss to Baylor. UCF defeated TCU thanks to the Horned Frogs' four turnovers, and Cincinnati upset Kansas State after the Wildcats jumped out to a 10-0 lead in the second quarter.

BYU, Arizona State and Kansas were on bye weeks while Texas Tech, Houston and Arizona all won their non-conference matchups against non-Power Four teams. However, the Cougars are still looking for their first win in the Big 12 after their loss to Texas Tech in Week 3.

Here is how the Big 12 standings look after the fourth week of the season.
