It was a perfect 12-0 week against non-BCS competition for the conference. This week the Big 12 needs to back up the talk as five teams will engage BCS competition (UT/Arkansas, OU/Washington, KU@USF, ISU@Iowa, Baylor/Wash St).

Big 12 vs BCS: 2-1
Big 12 vs All: 22-2

1-Oklahoma (2-0) #1, s = 81
At 21-14 it looked like a game at the half, but OU poured it on after the break and beat up on a pretty good Cincinnati team. I'd move the Sooners up a spot if I could. At Washington next week.
(HD rank 1-1)

2-Missouri (2-0) #6, s = 102
The Tiggers played an exhibition against SE Missouri and did what thye had to do. The result was an expected score of 52-3. The KC Star mentioned continued difficulty in pass coverage though. Nevada and Buffalo visit Columbia before MU heads to Lincoln for a "real" test.
(HD rank 2-2)

3-Kansas (2-0) #10, s = 17
Todd Reesing and his merry band of wideouts are on schedule. We'd like to see a running game, but it seems to get better in the fourth quarter when #22 carries the ball. Defense is solid, but we'd like to know more about the injuries. The Jayhawks head to South Florida now for a huge one. A lot to gain for the Jayhawks and the Big 12.
(HD rank 3-3)

4-Texas (2-0) #9, s = 46
UT gets a 42-13 over UTEP (0-2) and Colt McCoy is off to a nice start with a 7 to 1 TD to INT ratio. The Longhorns will get a much better measuring stick when Arkansas visits this Saturday.
(HD rank 4-4)

5-Texas Tech (2-0) #12, s = 105
Nevada racked up 488 yards of total offense, but the Tech defense was stout in the red zone. That could build confidence going forward. Graham Harrell was a little off as he hit just 19 of 46 and had two picks (297 yds). Home dates with SMU and UMASS are next. After a bye, the Red Raiders open Big 12 play at KSU.
(HD rank 5-5)

6-Oklahoma State (2-0) #34, s = 63
The Cowboys put up some big offensive numbers in their 56-37 win over Houston (1-1). The Cougars led 16-14 at the half but OSU had a 28-point outburst in the third quarter and ended up with 699 total yards! Home dates with Missouri St and Troy with a bye week between are up next. OSU hosts A&M for their Big 12 opener.
(HD rank 6-6)

7-Nebraska (2-0) #53, s = 6
The 35-12 win over San Jose St looks good in print, but this game was actually 14-12 in the early part of the fourth quarter before the Huskers got serious. The best news is that the NU defense had a three-and-out in the fourth quarter. That's a pretty big step in the right direction, so I bumped the Huskers up over Colorado. New Mexico St is next, then the Huskers will take two weeks to prepare for Virginia Tech.
(HD rank 8-7)

8-Colorado (2-0) #49, s =91
The Buffs win 31-24 over Eastern Washington, but this one was far from under control. The Buffs were down 21-7 at the half and got the winning score on an INT TD return with 1:44 left. That was after tying the game with just 2:05 left. Most teams like to relax a bit before taking on FSU and West Virginia, but hopefully, the bye will will help.
(HD rank 7-8)

9-Kansas State (2-0) #63, s = 64
Party like it's 1998! The Cats roll Montana St 69-10. Hey, the Buffs would have taken it back in 2006. KU fans don't believe it, but it is possible that Josh Freeman might be good. The Cats travel to Louisville for a Wednesday nighter (9/17).
(HD rank 9-9)

10-Iowa State (1-0) #82, s = 104
Progress is measured pretty easily here. The Clones knock off Kent State 48-28 one year after letting the Golden Flashes push them around in Ames (23-14 in 2007). At Iowa (2-0 vs Maine, FIU) this Saturday.
(HD rank 10-10)

11-Baylor (1-1) #85, s = 3
Northwestern St was just what Art Briles needed. The Bears roll 51-6. Washington State comes to Waco on Saturday. We'll see if anything was learned from the Wake Forest experience.
(HD rank 11-11)

12-Texas A&M (0-1) #89, s = 72
The Aggies get a 28-22 road win against New Mexico. The starting QB goes down and A&M improves -- what does that mean? After a bye week, Miami (FLA) comes to town.
(HD rank 12-12)
