The Big 12 lost its last unbeaten this week, but the conference still makes a strong showing in the Week 10 USA Today poll.
College Football Rankings: Big 12 Has Five Teams In Week 10 USA Today Poll
The USA Today coaches poll for Week 10 has five Big 12 teams, and heavyweights Oklahoma and Nebraska re-enter the top ten thanks in part to formerly undefeated Missouri’s first loss. Neither team is likely to make a run at the BCS Championship Game, but both appear to be in solid position for an at-large BCS berth.
The most interesting aspect of the polls, though, is Baylor’s rise. The Bears have a chance to win the Big 12 South by beating Oklahoma and Oklahoma State, and travel to Stillwater next week for the first of those two tests. With wins, the Bears could rocket into the top 15 or top 10 by the end of the season.
Full Big 12 rankings are as follows:
- No. 9 Oklahoma
- No. 10 Nebraska
- No. 14 Missouri
- No. 18 Oklahoma State
- No. 22 Baylor
