We're joined by Houston beat writer Joseph Duarte of the Houston Chronicle (@Joseph_Duarte), along with the Trib's Baylor beat writer Zach Smith (@ByZachSmith) and sports editor Brice Cherry (@BriceCherry), ready to dig into some BU and Big 12 football talk: 

Both Dave Aranda and Willie Fritz have done admirable jobs, with Aranda's resurrection of the Bears and Fritz's Cougars with three surprising wins over TCU, Utah and K-State after starting 1-4. Which of these guys' coaching jobs is more impressive, and is there any chance either of them get Big 12 coach of the year consideration?Clearly Baylor is on a roll with four straight wins, but the Cougars are good at home at 3-2. The Bears are an 8-point favorite, but what do you think — is this a trap game?BYU finally took their first loss of the week vs. a resurgent Kansas team. The Cougars and Colorado are now tied at 6-1, with Arizona State and Iowa State at 5-2 and then a big ol' jumbled mess of 4-3 and 3-4 teams. Out of any of these teams, who do you think has the best shot to win multiple games in the CFP, assuming they can get there?Let's look to 2025: Is this season of Big 12 parity just a one-year thing or is it here to stay? Do you see someone emerging who will be that year-in, year-out contender, a la Oklahoma of old?
