EXPERT: Baylor Gets NO RESPECT In Big 12 Rankings? Why BYU Is the SHOCKING No. 1 Team!

Big 12 power rankings shake up as BYU, Texas Tech, and Utah surge to the top, sparking debate over early-season performances against FCS opponents. Can BYU’s newfound offensive depth fuel a title run, or will Texas Tech’s struggles against Abilene Christian be reason for concern? Drake Toll and Cam Stuart break down standout players like Cutter Boley and Wayshawn Parker, analyze the regression of Houston’s defense under Willie Fritz, and dissect Oklahoma State’s stunning loss to Tulsa.

Baylor’s gut-wrenching decision to go for two against Auburn takes center stage, raising questions about Dave Aranda’s strategy and DJ Lagway’s execution in the red zone. The hosts debate Big 12 quarterback play, highlight breakout receivers such as Grayson Rigdon and Legend Glasser, and set the stage for pivotal week two matchups. Is Colorado’s resurgence for real? Can Baylor turn defensive promise into wins? The Big 12’s unpredictable road ahead starts here.
