Week 9 action provides more clarity at the top in this week’s Big 12 Power Rankings

After a week 9 that saw a major upset, there was some clarity provided to the top of this week’s Big 12 power rankings.

It’s been a wild season so far in Big 12 play. A roller coaster ride that’s seen games play out much closer than one would imagine and others that were straight upsets that nobody saw coming. Iowa State dropped a heartbreaker to West Virginia, and Texas lost a second-half lead again in their letdown vs. Baylor.

Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, and Baylor have established themselves as the three teams in contention for the Big 12 title. Oklahoma State has the win over Baylor, which gives them a leg up in the standings and this week’s power rankings. However, a Baylor win over Oklahoma in two weeks could create a jumbled mess at the top that could reinsert Iowa State into the discussion.

There’s still a ton of football to be played before we find out who will be in Arlington at the end of the season, but it’s becoming clear who the teams at the top are that will be vying for a Big 12 championship berth.

After a hectic week nine, let’s take a look at this week’s Big 12 power rankings.
