Tramel has updated his weekly ranking of conference teams.

The Big 12 is a little stagnant here in mid-October. Still no matchups between the conference’s best teams.
TCU keeps winning, not always impressively, on the road; OU remains Jekyll and Hyde; and OSU and Baylor remain unbeaten with no immediate test coming.
Here are the weekly rankings, again based not on projection, but on resume’. What have these teams done?

The Big 12 is a little stagnant here in mid-October. Still no matchups between the conference’s best teams.
TCU keeps winning, not always impressively, on the road; OU remains Jekyll and Hyde; and OSU and Baylor remain unbeaten with no immediate test coming.
Here are the weekly rankings, again based not on projection, but on resume’. What have these teams done?
- TCU (7-0, 4-0): Horned Frogs aren’t necessarily dominating, but they’ve won four road games, including three in the conference.
- Oklahoma State (6-0, 3-0): Why OSU over Baylor? Cowboys have three road wins (Texas, West Virginia and Central Michigan) better than Baylor’s best road win.
- Baylor (6-0, 3-0): And it’s not like Baylor has better home wins — West Virginia is the best.
- Oklahoma (5-1, 2-1): Impressive rout at Kansas State takes away a little sting of the Cotton Bowl clunker and offers promise of more than an 8-1 start; it suggests the Sooners could do some damage down the stretch.
- Texas Tech (5-2 2-2): Let Kansas hang around into the fourth quarter. Let’s chalk that up to boredom.
- Texas (2-4, 1-2): Longhorns’ next three games — Kansas State, at Iowa State, Kansas. UT could get on a roll.
- West Virginia (3-3, 0-3): Mountaineers put up a fight at Baylor — for awhile.
- Kansas State (3-3, 0-3): Wildcats follow two heartbreaking losses with perhaps the most dis-spiriting loss of the Bill Snyder era.
- Iowa State (2-4, 1-2): Cyclones held TCU to 45 points. Now they get Baylor.
- Kansas (0-6, 0-3): Jayhawks at least showed some life against Tech.
