TEMPLE, Texas — Entering Week 10 of the college football season, only three Big 12 teams are ranked.
Following its loss at Kansas State on Saturday, Oklahoma dropped from No. 5 to No. 10.
Despite the drop, the Sooners are still favorites to play for a Big 12 title. However, they still have to play Iowa State, Baylor, TCU and Oklahoma State in consecutive weeks following their current open week, with Baylor and Oklahoma State being road games.
Baylor jumped from No. 14 to No. 12 during its open week thanks in part to the chaos that was the Big 12 Conference in Week 9 (Four games, four upsets).
The Bears hold sole possession of first place in the conference through Week 9, thanks to Oklahoma's loss.
Kansas State jumped back into the polls at No. 22. The Wildcats were previously ranked before losing to Oklahoma State on Sept. 28 in Stillwater, and their return comes after an impressive showing at home against Oklahoma.
Texas dropped from No. 15 to unranked, just one point shy of No. 25 San Diego State. The Longhorns lost to TCU in Fort Worth Saturday, their third loss of 2019 (LSU, Oklahoma). Iowa State also dropped from No. 23 to unranked, following the Cyclones' loss at home to Oklahoma State.
