The Big12 is a wide open field. With OU and UT going down this weekend to unranked North teams the only two South power houses are questionable, NU got routed by USC at home, and then escaped Ball St. barely, ISU and Baylor suck fairly badly. ku actually looks alright in comparison (even though they aren't.) I don't know if the conference is on the rise as a whole or in a complete freefall. Probably the latter. But luckily so is all of college football.
