1. OKLAHOMA STATE (19-5, 9-3. Last week: Defeated Texas Tech, Oklahoma. This week: Wednesday vs. Kansas, Saturday at West Virginia): Do I think the Cowboys are winning the Big 12? No. But, for now, they’re No. 1 because they won at Kansas. 2. KANSAS (21-4, 9-3. Last week: Defeated Kansas State, Texas. This week: Wednesday

Well, well, well. All of sudden, Kansas State controls its destiny in the Big 12 title chase. I still think Kansas wins Monday and takes home another conference crown.

Is there a worse bottom of a conference than the Big 12? Perhaps the SEC, but it’s possible the bottom two teams each finish 1-17. Think about that.
