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

If you follow Big 12 Football, you know these teams can do quite the number on both heartstrings and Las Vegas betting lines.

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