Final Big 12 Football Power Rankings

The regular season is over, here is how the teams rank after the twelve game regular season. With just the conference championship game left the only thing that could change next week are the number one and two rankings.




1. Oklahoma 10-2, 7-1 – The Sooners are still on fire, winning the Big 12 south title and a trip to Kansas City to face Nebraska in the conference championship game. Potentially Dangerous Games: Big 12 Championship Game December 2 Last Week’s Ranking #1

2. Nebraska 9-3, 6-2 – The Big Red Rivalry has been renewed in the Big 12 Championship game with the Huskers facing off against Oklahoma for the conference title. Potentially Dangerous Games: Big 12 Championship Game December 2 Last Week’s Ranking #3

3. Texas A&M 9-3, 5-3 – Franchione may have saved himself a lot of unwanted criticism with the upset of the Texas Longhorns. Now the Aggies are waiting to see where their bowl destination. Potentially Dangerous Games: Bowl Game. Last Week’s Ranking #5

4. Texas Tech 7-5, 4-4 – Awaiting bowl destination. Potentially Dangerous Games: Bowl Game. Last Week’s Ranking #4

5. Texas 9-3, 6-2 – There is no way this season isn’t a disappointment for Texas fans. While no one was realistically expecting another national championship season no one was expecting three losses either. Potentially Dangerous Games: Bowl Game. Last Week’s Ranking #2

6. Missouri 8-4, 4-4 – The Tigers played just well enough to wonder what if. Potentially Dangerous Games: Bowl Game Last Week's Ranking #77. Kansas State 7-5, 4-4 – Awaiting Bowl Destination. Potentially Dangerous Games: Bowl Game. Last Week’s Ranking #8

8. Kansas 6-6, 3-5 – The Jayhawks lost the border war to Missouri to finish the season at .500. Unfortunately for Kansas that’s not good enough for an automatic bowl bid. Now they must play the waiting game. Potentially Dangerous Games: Possible Bowl Game. Last Week’s Ranking # 6

9. Oklahoma State 6-6, 3-5 – The Cowboys had a .500 season and were a tipped pass away from beating Oklahoma to end the season. So, what else is new in Stillwater? Potentially Dangerous Games: Possible Bowl Game. Last Week’s Ranking #9
