1) Oklahoma- The Sooners have the league’s best player. Their defense makes them a shaky conference favorite.
2) TCU- Yes, Iowa State just beat them. But the Frogs missed a few changes, and I still think they’re better than the Cyclones.
3) Oklahoma State- Mason Rudolph and James Washington still give the Cowboys very realistic odds to make the playoff.
4) Iowa State- What a year when the Cyclones could legitimately complain about being underrated if someone ranks them fourth in the conference. Iowa State still doesn’t quite have the talent of the teams above them, but somehow they’ve beaten two of those teams.
