1: Iowa State
The Iowa State Cyclones are scary good.
After toying with Colorado for a half, ISU put its foot on the neck of the Buffaloes and eventually won by ten. And on Saturday, ISU dominated Baylor and held the Bears’ offense, which was one of the best in the country coming into the game, to just 55 points.
ISU has been the class of the Big 12 so far and has shown championship upside.
2: Houston
It was a dominant opening week of conference play for Houston, which continues to rebuild its reputation after losing three times in nonconference play.
