Big 12 Football: Week 13 Power Rankings

With Week 13 of the Big 12 Football calendar in the books, it’s time for another round of conference power rankings.

It’s safe to say last weekend in the Big 12 was fairly predictable, however, there were some major headlines that definitely put the coaching carousel in full swing, and might have presented lukewarm responses for other schools headed into 2017.

As I said last week, job security was going to be an issue for some teams down the final stretch. That is the case this season, but the entire Big 12 conference will be affected in some way or another.

With Bedlam this week, and just a few teams bowl eligible, this wasn’t the Big 12’s strongest season yet, despite flashes of promise, and two teams knocking on the College Football Playoff’s door. Underwhelming performances, and the inability to capitalize on opportunities was the Achilles’ heel of several programs, who will unfortunately be watching the postseason from their sofas this year. However, with job searches ongoing, recruiting class searches, and offseason conditioning in full swing throughout the conference, not all is lost.

Disclaimer:

The following power rankings are based on observations for weeks 1-12, while forecasting playoff implications; there are no additional factors, so expect these rankings to change a lot this season based off how powerfully these teams are performing.

For those keeping track, here are my Big 12 Power Rankings for Week 12.
