There were some nail-biting finishes in Big 12 football yesterday. These are our power rankings for the conference following Week 8.

The Big 12 was nearly shaken up this week, with Texas and Oklahoma having games come down to the final drives against lower-end teams in the conference. There were also some performances from other schools that cemented their place as a true contender, such as Kansas State and Oklahoma State.

Kansas and Iowa State were on their bye weeks, while there are two next week. Our power rankings look a lot different than they did last week, so make sure to check out where your favorite team landed on our list.
