Unlike the AP ranking, the Coaches Poll did not have Texas ranked last week. Both ranked Big 12 teams won, so the conference’s foothold at the top was even more solidified. Oklahoma moved up one spot to No. 2 after hanging 52 on TCU. Baylor also climbed back into the ranking at No. 20 after its win over BYU.
In a matchup of other future Big 12 teams, Cincinnati hung 56 on UCF, leading the Bearcats to climb from 4 to 3. No. 2 Iowa fell to 11 after getting dunked on by Purdue.
