ESPN’s Football Power Index rankings — often offseason fodder for Oklahoma State fans (and all of college football, really) — released its first run of rankings for the 2022 season on Wednesday. As expected, it has very little respect for teams in the Big 12 not named Texas or Oklahoma.
Go figure.
In fact, the Longhorn$ are getting a ton of respect in the FPI — coming in at No. 6 — while the Sooners come in at No. 8. OSU is third among Big 12 teams at No. 13 ahead of Baylor, which ranks 19th after winning the Big 12 title over OSU last season.
