It's not a place I have particular affection for, but two games into the Big 12's season ending gauntlet, the state of Oklahoma is sitting pretty in the rankings. Let's get to it!
1.) Oklahoma Sooners (9-1, 6-1). previous ranking #2
The Sooners leap up over their in-state brethren as a result of having their huge win come on the road in a stadium where no visiting team had emerged victorious before, which in my mind is more impressive than the Cowboys holding serve at home, even against a better team. The key to the Sooners resurgence since their loss to Texas is that their lines are dominating on both sides of the ball, so for any team to knock them out of the top spot, they're going to have to be able to hang with Oklahoma in the trenches- and those sorts of teams may not play OU until the playoffs.
