In the world of college football, every week brings new excitement and surprises. Week 9 of the Big 12 conference was no exception, as teams jostled for position in the race for the conference title. The latest episode of “The Big 12 Experience” podcast, hosted by the Sports Gambling Podcast Network (SGPN), delved into the week’s action and updated their power rankings based on the latest results.
At the top of the rankings, the Oklahoma Sooners continued their dominance with a convincing win over TCU. Led by Heisman Trophy candidate quarterback Spencer Rattler, the Sooners showed why they are considered one of the top teams in the country. Their potent offense and solid defense have made them a force to be reckoned with in the Big 12.
Following closely behind the Sooners in the rankings were the Iowa State Cyclones. After a hard-fought win over Baylor, the Cyclones proved that they are a legitimate contender in the conference. Quarterback Brock Purdy and running back Breece Hall have been leading the way for the Cyclones, and their strong play has propelled Iowa State into playoff contention.
The Texas Longhorns also made a strong showing in Week 9, bouncing back from a tough loss to Oklahoma State with a resounding win over West Virginia. Quarterback Sam Ehlinger continues to impress with his leadership and playmaking abilities, and the Longhorns are firmly in the mix for the conference title.
On the flip side, the Texas Tech Red Raiders fell in the rankings after a disappointing loss to Oklahoma State. Despite the solid play of quarterback Alan Bowman, the Red Raiders have struggled to find consistency on both sides of the ball. They will need to regroup quickly if they hope to make a run in the second half of the season.
Rounding out the bottom of the rankings were the Kansas State Wildcats, who suffered a tough loss to West Virginia. Despite the efforts of quarterback Will Howard, the Wildcats have struggled to find success in a tough Big 12 conference.
Overall, Week 9 of the Big 12 conference provided plenty of drama and excitement for fans. With the race for the conference title heating up, every game becomes crucial for teams looking to make a statement. As the season progresses, it will be interesting to see how the power rankings continue to evolve and which teams will emerge as the top contenders in the Big 12.
