Big 12 football power rankings after one big Week 1 upset

While there are still three FBS games on Sunday and one on Monday, the Week 1 Big 12 slate has come and gone.

The Big 12 saw mostly expected results, aside from Oklahoma State’s meager offensive performance against Tulsa, which led to a 24-10 road upset. West Virginia had a close call against Coastal Carolina, but pulled away late to win by seven. Colorado and Baylor had the closest games of the weekend, with the Buffaloes beating Georgia Tech on a last-second field goal block while Baylor was stuffed at the goal line on a two-point conversion that would have won them the game.

How does all the Week 1 action change our first in-season power rankings of the Big 12 Conference? Here is an updated look at the Big 12 picture after Week 1.
