Week 2, 2012

2 weeks are finished, and the newest rankings are out! Oklahoma State, North Carolina, Miami (FL), Missouri, Utah, Kansas, and South Florida all tumble out of the rankings, while TCU jumps up to take the #1 spot after not playing last week. Texas, West Virginia, Baylor, and Texas Tech round out the Top 5 as the Big 12 continues to have a huge strength of schedule, even with the conference's first two losses coming this weekend (Oklahoma State and Kansas).
