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

Week 11 in the Big 12 was filled with chaos. While some of the conference’s competitors struggled, others came close to achieving their ultimate goals. So which managers achieved great victories and which suffered crushing defeats?

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

Big 12 Head Coach Hot Seat Index – Week 11

Scorching: Mike Gundy (Oklahoma State)

Gundy sits alone in the warmest part of the heat index for the second week in a row. The Cowboys are one of the worst teams in the Power 4 and are currently 3-7 during a seven-game losing streak. They were obliterated by TCU, 38-13, to continue the unimaginable slide. On the bright side, they’re guaranteed not to lose this week… because they’re saying goodbye.

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

Aranda and the Bears had last week off and were preparing for their next matchup against West Virginia. They have won three matches in a row and want to continue this momentum.

Malzahn and UCF couldn’t keep up their momentum after blowing out Arizona. Instead, they came back and lost to Arizona State, 35-31. Despite the defeat, the Knights have been playing much better in recent weeks and have a bye week to regroup ahead of their home game of the season. They need to win their last two matches to qualify for the cup.

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

Arizona didn’t play last week, so Brennan will stay put in the hot section. Their next game will be Friday night when the Wildcats host Houston. Meanwhile, Dykes and TCU feasted as Oklahoma State improved to 6-4. If Dykes picks up a few more wins, he’ll likely move into the room temperature section after previously being one of the hottest seats in the conference.

Leipold moved to a cooler seat on the roster after its 45-36 upset over Iowa State. The win moves Kansas to 3-6 and a disappointing 2-4 in the conference, but it’s also a reminder of how Leipold has turned Kansas football around over the past few years. He still needs to keep winning, but this huge upset bought him some time and allowed him to lower his heat index.

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

Fritz enjoyed his bye week after upsetting Kansas State last week. The Cougars will play at Arizona on Friday night looking to even their record at 5-5. This is a huge game for the Cougars if they want to make a bowl game.

Satterfield’s Bearcats have lost two straight games and will have to beat Iowa State if they want to avoid losing a third. If Cincinnati loses again next week, Satterfield’s seat will get heated again.

Dillingham’s Sun Devils got a big win over UCF over the weekend. Arizona State is now 7-2 and has won two straight games. One of the biggest games of the season is coming up as we travel to Kansas State for a matchup of 7-2 teams with high hopes for bowl season.

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

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

Sitake’s Cougars are somehow still undefeated and in a great spot to win the Big 12 title. BYU continues to narrowly escape with victories, but in the end, winning is all that matters. Meanwhile, Iowa State is now 7-2 after losing two straight games and falling out of the AP Poll. But it was still a strong season for Campbell and the Cyclones.

Whittingham and Utah nearly ruined BYU’s perfect season before falling short in the final rendition of the Holy War. The Utes are 4-5 overall and 1-5 in the conference, but Whittingham is still out of danger. Utah would never turn its back on him after all the success he’s had.

Klieman and Kansas State were in their bye week as they prepared for Arizona State. Texas Tech and McGuire missed an opportunity to get a big win against Colorado. Instead, the Buffaloes pulled off a blowout win and currently sit in second place in the conference. Sanders has led one of the most impressive turnarounds in the country this season and could have a Heisman Trophy winner on his roster. TravisHunter.

The Big 12 Head Coach Hot Seat Index will continue to change as the season continues. Some seats may heat up while others may cool down. Stay tuned. We will update the index next week.
