Big 12 Football Power Rankings After Week 13
By Erika Brown
6. West Virginia (8-4, 6-3 conference)
West Virginia has been in some gritty games this season. They fought back against a rallying Baylor Bears team on Saturday to win the game. Quarterback Garrett Greene threw for 269 yards and 2 touchdowns while running for another 2 touchdowns into the endzone himself. The team looks to continue their rally when they find out about their bowl game in December.
5. Kansas State (8-4, 6-3 conference)
Kansas State had a great season and ended their year with only three losses in conference. The game on Saturday got away from them at the end. Quarterback Will Howard threw for 288 yards, a touchdown, and an interception. The game came down to a fourth down stop near the end of the game to seal it for the Wildcats. They play in a bowl game in December and look forward to 2024.
4. Iowa State (7-5, 6-3 conference)
Iowa State faced a tough Kansas State team in a game where the story was the elements. Farmageddon was one for the books, covering the entire field in a thick layer of snow. It came down all game, causing turnovers and slips and slides all over the field. Somehow, Iowa State pulled out the win. They are officially bowl-eligible this season, so the next time we see the Cyclones will be when they go bowling.
