A couple powerhouses take care of business. A wild week of disappointment and missed expectations for two proud programs. A couple of surprising road results for an afterthought and a program clawing it's way back to respectability. And more in the Week 2 Big 8 Power Rankings.
1.) Oklahoma Sooners (2 - 0) last ten (9 - 1)
The Sooners roll over the UCLA Bruins and Chip Kelly who hasn't quite found the right gear in Westwood. The Sooners lose a running back, but something tells me Lincoln Riley & Co. have another world beater waiting in the wings.
2.) Oklahoma State Cowboys (2 - 0) last ten (8 - 2)
What can you say about the Cowboys. They are very good at scoring points in college football. They have a coach with a personality that's bigger than the program. They're the lesser Oklahoma school. They are the least notable winning program in America. I think these Cowboys will have their hands full next weekend corralling the Broncos from Boise State.
3.) Missouri Tigers (2 - 0) last ten (8 - 2)
Mizzou won two games it should have in convincing fashion. That shouldn't be a cause for celebration, but when you're Mizzou the last few years it certainly is. With Drew Lock's arm singing in the new (mostly the same ) Dooley's Revenge offensive scheme the Tiger's are poised for another run at divisional supremacy. The Tiger's will look to avoid getting their tail caught at Purdoo before a big matchup with Georgia in two weeks.
4.) Colorado Buffaloes (2 - 0) last ten (4 - 6)
With the most impressive victory to date, the Colorado Buffalos, take ahold of the number 4 spot. The Buffs went on the road (for the second week in a row) and interrupted the coronation of Scotch Frost. Seems like the recruiting efforts at Colorado's flagship university are taking the program to higher levels than we've seen since the late 90's.
5.) Kansas State Wildcats (1 - 1) last ten (6 - 4)
Ole Man Snyder looked a bit confused at the intensity and physicality of the Mississippi State defenders. The Wildcats we're clearly overmatched this week, after struggling to win last week, and could be in for a bumpy ride this year. Maybe Ole Man Snyder finds inspiration in his late night taco bell run to fuel one last turnaround.
6.) Iowa State Cyclones (0 - 1 - n/a) last ten (6 - 4)
The Fighting Matt Campbell's fell flat in the least significant rivalry in all of sports. After not losing (by way of cancellation) in week one, we expected more out of the mighty Cyclones, but a trip to dreary Ames proved a tougher test than anticipated. With the bottom half of the Ole Big 8 looking characteristically weak, expect the Cyclones to battle for mediocrity all season long.
7.) Nebraska Cornhuskers (0 - 1 - n/a) last ten (3 - 7)
After a dismal 4 win season, the Husker's hopes were riding high with the return of not-so-prodigal son, Scotch Frost. Long gone are the days when you can "lift" and "culture" your way to national championship contention. You need players and the Husker's just don't have the juice on either side of the ball. On a related note, it seams short sighted to only carry one scholarship QB, but what do I know?
8.) kansas jayhawks (1 - 1) last ten (1 - 9)
THIS PROGRAM IS A HEAPING PILE OF EXCREMENT. Calling this program a dumpster fire is an insult to the fine sanitation professionals across this great land. The fact they won their first road game in the better part of a decade is just a reminder of how truly inept the program is in all facets. Poised to maintain their momentum against the Rutger Knights??(no clue), ku will return home to a fanbase with the general apathy of a grocery store clerk stocking canned corn.
