Last season, the Big 12 was left out of the College Football Playoff and they are hoping to erase any memory of that snub in 2015. So far, so good for the conference, as the Baylor Bears and TCU Horned Frogs have picked up where they left off last season and are making a case for one of the spots in the final four.
In fact, Baylor and TCU have been so impressive this year that they currently top the most recent edition of ESPN’s Football Power Index.
Following Baylor and TCU are the Oklahoma Sooners, with the Ohio State Buckeyes and USC Trojans rounding out the top five.
