The postseason picture is starting to become clear according to the Football Power Index. The Oklahoma Sooners and Texas Longhorns are still the clear-cut favorites to face off in Arlington, Texas, at AT&T Stadium for the Big 12 championship.
The Sooners saw a bump in the win-out percentage as well as their win-conference percentage after the 34-30 victory over the Longhorns. Texas also saw a bump in the win-out percentage but dropped in the win conference category. Not a shock for either team. Oklahoma might not face another ranked team all season. Kansas is currently ranked but with three weeks remaining before that matchup, it is a wait-and-see approach.
Kansas State remained No. 3 in the FPI rankings despite the loss to Oklahoma State on Friday night in Stillwater. Texas Tech moved into No. 4 behind KSU with their win over Baylor in Waco. The Red Raider leapfrogged TCU who fell to Iowa State this week.
With Week 6 now in the record books, we check in on how the FPI breaks down for the Big 12.
