UCF dropped four spots in the latest Big 12 Power rankings after the Knights’ 48-21 loss to Colorado last week. Meanwhile, Iowa State (4-0) took over the top spot this week, receiving nine first-place votes and 246 points from a media panel that regularly covers the Big 12.

For the first time this season, there's a new No. 1 in the Big 12 power rankings. Iowa State (4-0) took over the top spot this week, receiving nine first-place votes and 246 points from a panel of media who regularly cover the Big 12.

The simple reason that this game is the choice for the Big 12 Game of the Week is because of how much it matters to both of these teams. UCF has so much to gain with a win over Florida, but it is hard to adequately describe how important it would be for the Knights’ program.

One day remains before the Florida Gators (2-2, 1-1 SEC) host the UCF Knights (3-1, 0-1 Big 12) inside Ben Hill Griffin Stadium during college football’s Week 6, and the oddsmakers continue to make changes ahead of the big game on Saturday.
