We assembled our CFB Week 5 Big 12 football power rankings following yesterday’s slate of games.

Big 12 football is two weeks through conference play, and we are beginning to get a sense of who the top dogs are. There were some crazy games this weekend, and with the struggles of the bottom-tier schools in the conference, these rankings weren’t easy to put together. So let’s get straight into our power rankings, which are very different than last week’s, starting at No. 14.
