1. Oklahoma State– Okie State moved forward a spot in most of the polls after OU’s loss. They are ranked first in the nation in a couple of the computer polls but I still feel like they are behind LSU and Alabama. OSU handled Mizzou this past Saturday. Joseph Randle rushed for 138 yard on only 14 carries and scored on 3 of them.
2. Oklahoma– Gone. Just like that, Oklahoma’s chances of a BCS Championship are finished after their shocking loss at home against Texas Tech. The Sooners fell behind early and had a big rally late but a missed FG late in the 4th was the difference in the game. The Sooners still have a shot at the Big 12 title and a trip to the Fiesta Bowl to play for but they still have to play A&M and OSU.
3. Texas A&M– The Aggies are back in the Big 12 championship race after OU’s loss. I thought the Aggies struggled somewhat against the Clones but still won by 16. Christine Michaels and Cyrus Gray rushed for a combined 267 yards.
4. Kansas State– Call me a moron but I’m still not sold on Kansas State as a legit Big 12 championship contender. Don’t get me wrong, the Wildcats are a good team but look at their next 4 games. They play Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Texas A&M, and Texas. Brutal. I would be shocked if they come out of that with anything more than one win.
5. Texas Tech– Wow. The Red Raiders didn’t just win but dominated the Sooners for most of the game (up 34-17 at the end of the 3rd). Seth Doege led the way with over 400 yards passing and 4 TDs through the air. Alex Torres only caught 4 passes but 3 of them were for a touchdown.
6. Texas– Texas didn’t play this week but are hoping to bounce back from back-to-back losses against the top two teams in the conference. Lucky for them, they play Kansas this week.
7. Baylor– The Bears also didn’t play this week after a big loss to A&M. Baylor travels to Oklahoma State to take on the Cowboys next week.
8. Missouri– Good news for the Tigers, they have already played KSU, OU, and OSU. They got beat by Oklahoma State this past weekend pretty handedly, 45-24. Mizzou turned the ball over 4 times and 3 of them were INTs from James Franklin.
9. Iowa State– As you know, QB Steele Jantz was benched after an interception on his first pass followed by two straight 3-and-outs. Jared Barnett came in and led the Clones down to field for a TD of his first possession. Barnett did enough for Paul Rhoads to name him the starter for next week. Next week’s game at Texas Tech is a must-win for ISU if they want to go bowling.
10. Kansas– The Jayhawks got thumped by their instate rivals, 59-21. Their goal for the rest of the season: win a Big-12 game (Best chance is Iowa State).
