Big 12 Power Rankings: Week 14   Here's how I slot the Big 12
heading into the final weekend of the season:  1. Kansas State
(10-1, 7-1, last week: 1) The Wildcats were idle, but there was
nothing that could happen on Saturday to knock the Wildcats off
their comfy perch atop this ranking. A loss next week to Texas
might, though, as long as the Sooners beat TCU to win the Big 12
outright.  2. Oklahoma (9-2, 6-1, last week: 2) Oklahoma got the
job done and defended its home field against an unbelievably
resilient Oklahoma State team. The Sooners stayed alive in the
Big 12 title race in the process, but that's a Bedlam that won't
soon be forgotten by the Sooner faithful, even if it's also a
sign of possibly scary things to come.  3. Oklahoma State (7-4,
5-3, last week: 3) Excuse me for refusing to move Oklahoma State
down a spot after losing to Oklahoma in overtime in Norman. If
there's such a thing as a good loss, that was it. The Cowboys
impressed me and held their own in a crazy environment at Owen
Field.  4.
