Here's how the Big 12 teams stand after two weeks:
- Oklahoma
- Oklahoma State
- Texas Christian University
- Kansas State
- West Virginia
- Texas Tech
- Texas
- Iowa State
- Kansas
- Baylor
Oklahoma leads after the second week of play.
As much as I hate to admit it, I think Oklahoma is the real deal this year. Ohio State just had no answer to them last week.
Oklahoma State and TCU might as well be tied for second. Neither team has really faced anyone worthwhile (while TCU’s road win over Arkansas was impressive, Arkansas is still a bottom tier SEC team) This week will provide Oklahoma State with at least a little bit of a challenge facing Pittsburgh on the road and we will see if the fighting Gundies can take care of business again.
Kansas State, West Virginia, and Texas Tech could look very different next week. Kansas State gets the edge over West Virginia simply because of they have a better record at 2-0. West Virginia gets the benefit of the doubt over Tech since the Red Raiders have only played one game so far against a FCS opponent. This week will be a good test for both Kansas State, who plays Vanderbilt on the road; and Texas Tech who gets Arizona State at home.
The bottom four were pretty straightforward.
Texas played bad all around against Maryland but managed to take care of business against SDSU (Despite some huge issues offensively).
Iowa State couldn't maintain a seven point lead with less than two minutes left. I had thoughts that maybe Kansas might become bowl eligible this year but after last week they seem to be the same Jayhawks that we all know and love. And of course Baylor followed up a loss to an online college (Liberty University) by losing to UTSA at home.
Next week should be very telling and this list may look completely different come Sunday. Stay tuned.
