Watching the Polls: Week Seven

We’re nearing the initial College Football Playoffs Committee rankings. Until then, the Coaches and AP polls will have to satiate our desire to see how Baylor ranks up against the rest of the nation. The undefeated Bears rolled over Kansas at Homecoming and have another bye week to prepare for Texas. West Virginia, coming off a complete shut-down of Texas Tech in Lubbock, is finally seeing some love in the polls. And Oklahoma handled Kansas State in Norman. It’s becoming increasingly likely that one of these three teams will win the Big 12 crown. But where do they rank in the grand scheme of things? Let’s find out.
