Big 12 Power Rankings1:46 – 8:44

1:46

The Big 12 Power Rankings, a weekly rank of all 16 programs, from the elite to the bottom dwellers.

1:56

All right, so our Power Rankings will start at the very bottom here.

1:59

Congrats to Colorado for pulling themselves out of the basement and going from 16 to 15.

2:04

Big money.

2:04

They could have gone up a little further.

2:06

I'm tempted to just put Kansas at 17.

2:10

We should also.

2:11

Out of the 16 teams.

Josh FurlongHost

2:12

We should put Colorado above Baylor.

Josh FurlongHost

2:14

I don't know why that's not there.

Josh FurlongHost

2:16

Abuse.

Josh FurlongHost

2:16

2:17

terrible.

2:18

Baylor coming out and laying six points.

2:23

TCU's got a good defense.

2:24

They showed that against BYU.

2:25

They do.

2:26

Was that the final against BYU? It was like 17-10, right? So TCU has shown they've got a good defense.

2:33

I saw Baylor play that game against Arizona State, and I thought they've turned a whole new leaf.

2:38

We see a different team now.

2:39

This is a different team.

2:40

But we forgot that Arizona State actually might not be very good right now.

2:43

Very, very bad.

2:44

And so to have, by the way, Arizona State 16 on the poll this week because they look absolutely awful.

2:52

And the problem is there's no end in sight.
