We have a new No. 1 team this week after a big-time battle in Morgantown, West Virginia, plus a countless number of single-game records after a shootout in Lubbock, Texas.
The Big 12 power rankings after Week 8:
1. West Virginia (previous ranking: 2): We’re moving the Mountaineers up to No. 1 this week based on their 34-10 pounding of TCU and the fact that they’ve notched five good wins against Power 5 foes on their way to 6-0. Remember how the big question marks going into this season were supposed to be the play of quarterback Skyler Howard and West Virginia’s defense?
