Welcome back to the Big 12 Head Coach Hot Seat Index.

Week 11 of the Big 12 was full of chaos. Some of the conference contenders have struggled, while others have moved closer to their ultimate goals. But which head coaches have had big victories and which have suffered crushing defeats?

Here’s a look at the Big 12 head coaches’ Hot Seat Index after Week 11.

Big 12 Head Coach’s Hot Seat Index – Week 11

Burning: Mike Gundy (Oklahoma State)

For the second week in a row, Gundy is alone in the hottest part of the heat index. The Cowboys are one of the worst teams in the Power 4 and are now 3-7 amid a seven-game losing streak. They have just been destroyed 38-13 by TCU to continue their unimaginable downward spiral. On the bright side, they are guaranteed not to lose this week… because they are bye.

Hot: Dave Aranda (Baylor), Gus Malzahn (UCF)

Aranda and the Bears were off last week preparing for their upcoming matchup against West Virginia. They have won three games in a row and hope to continue that momentum.

Malzahn and UCF couldn’t continue their momentum after eliminating Arizona. instead, they turned around and lost 35–31 to Arizona State. Despite the loss, the Knights have played much better in recent weeks and now have a bye week to regroup heading into the home stretch of the season. They must win their final two games to become bowl eligible.

Hot: Brent Brennan (Arizona), Sonny Dykes (TCU), Lance Leipold (Kansas)

Arizona didn’t play last week, so Brennan will stay where he is in the hot section. His next game is Friday night when the Wildcats host Houston. Meanwhile, Dykes and TCU feasted on Oklahoma State to improve to 6-4. A few more wins for Dykes, and it will likely move down to the room temperature section after previously being one of the hottest seats in the conference.

Leipold moves down the list to a fresher seat after losing to Iowa State 45-36. The win puts Kansas at 3-6 and a disappointing 2-4 in the conference, but it’s also a reminder of how Leipold has transformed Kansas football in recent years. He still has to continue winning, but this big upset bought him some time and allowed him to move down in the heat index.

Ambient temperature: Willie Fritz (Houston), Scott Satterfield (Cincinnati), Kenny Dillingham (Arizona State), Neal Brown (West Virginia)

Fritz enjoyed a week off after upsetting Kansas State last week. The Cougars will play Friday night in Arizona for a chance to even their record at 5-5. This is a very big game for the Cougars if they want to make a bowl game.

The Satterfield Bearcats have now lost two games in a row and will need to beat Iowa State if they want to avoid losing a third. If Cincinnati loses again next week, Satterfield’s seat will heat up again.

The Dillingham Sun Devils picked up a big win against UCF this weekend. Arizona State is now 7-2 and has won two games in a row. One of their biggest games of the season will happen now as they travel to Kansas State in a 7-2 matchup between teams that have high hopes for bowl season.

Brown’s Mountaineers beat Cincinnati 31-24 to give West Virginia its second straight victory. The Mountaineers are now 5-4 and will face a surging Baylor team that will also try to win its sixth game on Saturday.

Ice : Kalani Sitake (BYU), Matt Campbell (Iowa State), Kyle Whittingham (Utah), Joey McGuire (Texas Tech), Chris Klieman (Kansas State), Deion Sanders (Colorado)

The Sitake Cougars are still undefeated and well-positioned to win the Big 12 title. BYU continues to come close with wins, but winning is all that matters in the end. Meanwhile, Iowa State is now 7-2 after losing two straight and dropping out of the AP poll. However, it was still a solid season for Campbell and the Cyclones.

Whittingham and Utah nearly spoiled BYU’s perfect season before falling short in the final rendition of the holy war. The Utes are 4-5 overall and now 1-5 in conference play, but Whittingham is still not in danger. Utah would never turn against him after all the success he has had.

Klieman and Kansas State were on a bye week while preparing for Arizona State. Texas Tech and McGuire missed an opportunity to get a big win against Colorado. Instead, the Buffaloes pulled off a huge win themselves and now sit in second place in the conference. Sanders has led one of the most impressive turnarounds in the country this season, and he could have a Heisman Trophy winner on his roster in Travis Hunter.

The Big 12 Head Coach’s Hot Seat Index will continue to change as the season progresses. Some seats will become warmer, while others may cool. Stay tuned. We will update the index next week.
