Big 12 Football Power Rankings after Week 10
By Erika Brown
6. West Virginia (6-3, 4-2 conference)
The game was a runaway, with BYU finally scoring with six minutes left in the 4th quarter. Running back CJ Donaldson Jr ran for two scores, while quarterback Garrett Greene threw for two scores. West Virginia racked up a total of 567 yards on the game with zero turnovers. They are one of several teams that are still vying for a spot in the Championship in December. They head to Norman this weekend to face a downtrodden Oklahoma team.
5. Oklahoma (7-2, 4-2 conference)
Oklahoma has two losses on the season, but coming back-to-back against Kansas and Oklahoma State. They had a tough game in Stillwater, committing three turnovers at critical points of the game. Quarterback and Heisman hopeful Dillon Gabriel threw for 344 yards with a touchdown and interception. And wide receiver Drake Stoops had one of his best games, gaining 134 yards and a touchdown. The Sooners are still in the mix for the Championship game, and they face West Virginia this week.
4. Kansas (7-2, 4-2 conference)
Kansas is another team that is in the mix for a spot in the Big 12 Championship game. They have won seven games this season, the first time since 2008. Quarterback Jason Bean led the Jayhawks with 287 yards and a touchdown. Running back Devin Neal ran for two touchdowns, and the team had no turnovers. Kansas looks like a contender this year, and with a quality win over Oklahoma, they have a leg up on the team. They take on Texas Tech at home on Saturday.
