Big 12 Power Rankings: Week 6
Published: 10/10/2011 7:08 PM
Last Modified: 10/10/2011 7:08 PM

Things are becoming clearer in the Big 12. It's Oklahoma, Oklahoma State and everyone else.

1. Oklahoma
The Sooners do play Kansas State, Texas A&M and Baylor in consecutive weeks, but Dec. 3 is the key date remaining on the schedule. OU visits Kansas this week. I feel sorry for Kansas.

2. Oklahoma State
Cowboys can put Texas demons to rest once and for all.

3. Kansas State
Wildcats got off to a slow start, but they're making a strong case for third-best team in the conference.

4. Baylor
Battle of the Brazos could be especially bitter this weekend.

5. Texas A&M
Texas Tech coaches accused Aggie defenders of faking injuries. But that defense isn't much better when everyone is upright.

6. Texas
They're baaaack... for another mediocre season.

7. Texas Tech
A slip back to the bottom seems imminent with Kansas State, OU up next.

8. Missouri
After Oklahoma and Kansas State in back-to-back games, things ease up with Iowa State coming to town.

9. Iowa State
The losing streak could reach five before Kansas comes around to offer relief.

10. Kansas
Jayhawks fiercely guarding conference cellar.
