Big 12 Power Rankings 10/18

1) TCU- The Frogs remain undefeated and have a clear road to the playoff. Whether Kenny Hill can keep this up remains a fair concern.

2) Oklahoma- A month ago the Sooners went into Columbus and rolled Ohio State. There are some real concerns with this team, but they still could make the playoff.

3) Oklahoma State- The final potential Big 12 playoff team. The Cowboys have an electric offense and are hoping they just had a bad day against TCU.

4) West Virginia- The Mountaineers came back and knocked off Texas Tech. There’s a clear drop from the top three.

5) Texas Tech- They were in control against West Virginia and lost. But this has still been a very good season for the Red Raiders.

6) Texas- Tom Herman’s team has lost a few close games after their week one debacle against Maryland, but they look much improved compared to last season.

7) Iowa State- The Cyclones have a real shot to knock off a team above them on this list. Joel Lanning could crash the Heisman ceremony.

8) Kansas State- The Wildcats are in danger of not making a bowl game. What a disappointing year for Kansas State.

9) Baylor- Oklahoma State crushed the Bears, but the team has shown some signs of life at times this season. They don’t have a win, but they are still a good clip better than Kansas. A loss on November 4th would be catastrophic.

10) Kansas- The Jayhawks are much worse than anyone in the league. David Beaty found a way to beat Texas last season. He may need to find a way in Big 12 play to make it to year four.
