Big 12 Football Power Rankings

1. Texas 6-1, 3-0 – The Longhorns flexed their muscle against the Baylor Bears but showed again that their secondary could be trouble. Baylor passed for 320 yards and two touchdowns against Texas. Potentially Dangerous Games: October 21st at Nebraska. Last Week’s Ranking #1

2. Nebraska 6-1, 3-0 – Kansas State provided no threat to the Huskers on Saturday as well as no threat to Nebraska’s power rankings. After surviving a scare from Kansas the Huskers got back on solid footing with a win over Iowa State.
Potentially Dangerous Games: October 21st Texas, November 4th Missouri. Last Week’s Ranking #3

3. Oklahoma 4-2, 1-1 – Oklahoma will now face the biggest challenge of the season. Not the Colorado Buffaloes but life without Adrian Peterson.
Potentially Dangerous Games: October 28th at Missouri, November 25th at Oklahoma State. Last Week’s Ranking #4

4. Texas A&M 6-1, 1-2 – Anyone else surprised to see the Aggies here? The question now is will they be able to stay? A loss to Oklahoma State this weekend would erase the Missouri win. Potentially Dangerous Games: Every game left on the schedule. Last Week’s Ranking #7

5. Oklahoma State 4-2, 1-1 – OSU exploded in the second half against the Jayhawks. Now let’s see if they can keep that momentum going this week against A&M.
