The Pac-12 is suing the Mountain West to remove “poaching” fees after bringing over 5 schools from the league, a move they want to make cheaper.

If the Pac-12 wins the lawsuit as they head to court, we could see the Mountain West dissolve as a conference.

On today’s episode of Locked On College Football, I go through Week 5 picks for the most exciting conference title race in the country: The Big 12.

Can BYU, now ranked in the Top 25, win on the road against Baylor to improve to 5-0?

Who wins a Top 25 showdown in Manhattan between Oklahoma State and Kansas State?

I am also joined by ‘Locked On Sooners’ host Jay Smith to talk about Oklahoma’s messy QB situation heading into this week’s game against Auburn.

How badly does Brent Venables need to pick up a win this week on the road against Auburn?
