After our first full weekend of Big 12 play, several of our preconceived notions about the conference have gone by the wayside.
In particular, Texas Tech isn’t turning out to be the team that many thought they’d be heading into 2023. Also, who would have thought that Oklahoma State and Baylor would be two of the worst teams in the conference. And yet, that’s where we stand four weeks into the season and one week into Big 12 play.
Each week, Erick Smith of USA TODAY Sports re-ranks each of the 133 Football Bowl Subdivision teams.
After week four, Texas Tech experienced the biggest move of the week, falling hard after losing to West Virginia. Oklahoma State also experienced a steep drop in the rankings. On the flipside, West Virginia and Kansas earned double-digit increases compared to a week ago.
Let’s take a look at where the Big 12 ranks in the latest 1-133 re-rank.
