After two weeks of conference play in the Big 12, the two clear top dogs appear to be the Kansas State Wildcats and the West Virginia Mountaineers. West Virginia in particular has shown some superb offensive capabilities thanks to quarterback Geno Smith, winning two shootouts in a row against Baylor and Texas. Both Kansas State and West Virginia have put together 5-0 overall records, putting them in a neck-and-neck race for the top spot in the conference. At the bottom of the conference are the Kansas Jayhawks, who slumped to an 0-2 conference record with a loss to Kansas State.
The Longhorns are in the middle of the pack after beating the Oklahoma State Cowboys but falling to the surging Mountaineers in their second game.
