1) Missouri (4-0, 0-0) #15 CBS
Do I believe MU is the best team in the Big 12? No. However, how can you deny them the top slot at this point. They've done everything they've been asked. Take care of business against the Corn or the fall in the rankings will be mighty.

2) Colorado (3-2, 1-0) #42 CBS
Did OU go to sleep in Boulder? It doesn't matter, the Buffs beat the best team in the conference, so they reap the reward. A somewhat interesting revenge game awaits the Buffs in Waco.

3) Oklahoma (4-1, 0-1) #10 CBS
The only way to erase the sting of the CU loss is to hammer your rival. The Sooners better win because losing takes you to the dark side.

Another opportunity to step onto the national stage awaits in Manhattan. Are the Hawks man enough to take what they've earned?

5) Kansas State (3-1, 1-0) #28 CBS
Just like the glory days. Maybe they waited to long to kick old Bill out. Captain Ron looks ready to steal a Big 12 Championship in year two. Not too bad.

6) Texas (4-1, 0-1) #18 CBS
How is this even possible just two years after a National Championship? Now, the Horns have to beat Oklahoma to avoid an 0-2 conference start and a media frenzy that would make Britney Spears blush.

7) Texas A&M (4-1, 1-0) #31 CBS
How can 4-1 look so unimpressive? Coach Dennis is walking the plank each week -- win or swim with the sharks.

8) Oklahoma St (3-2, 1-0) #57 CBS
It's not as compelling as the Mike/Jenni Soap Opera, but the Cowboys could take a strong lead in the south with a win a College Station. They'd have two division wins in their pocket.

9) Nebraska (4-1, 1-0) #16 CBS
CBS loves the Huskers, but no else does. A vote of no confidence for the Blackshirts. Still, it would be no surprise for the Corn to go into Columbia and get a win -- a result that would vastly change the outlook in Lincoln.

10) Texas Tech (4-1, 0-1) #48 CBS
Tech has become the guy at work that keeps telling the same non-pc jokes. At this stage in the Leach era, the 75-7 win over Northwestern St doesn't feel good for anyone after failing to put away an OSU team that should've been ready to collapse.

11) Baylor (3-2, 0-1) #78 CBS
No breakthrough this year for the Bears. The opportunity to run the table against the north starts Saturday at home. Seems like those teams might be better this year though.
