6. Texas (5-2, 2-2) Last week: No. 5 (-1)
Outlook: After two home losses, the Longhorns recovered with a road win at Baylor. The Longhorns are just behind the Sooners in points scored in the nation.
7. TCU (5-2, 2-2) Last week: No. 6 (-1)
Outlook: TCU drops a position after its second home loss of the season. Quarterback Trevone Boykin is still struggling to find his place in the offense.
8. Iowa State (4-3, 1-3) Last week: No. 7 (-1)
Outlook: After a road loss to Oklahoma State, the Cyclones will still need to address their quarterback woes before their homecoming game against a struggling Baylor defense.
9. Baylor (3-3, 0-3) Last week: No. 9 (0)
Outlook: Putting up points has not been a problem for the Bears this season. The defense, however, is ranked 124th in the nation in multiple categories.
10. Kansas (1-6, 0-4) Last week: No. 10 (0) Outlook: Kansas has not won against an FBS team this year. With six straight losses, the schedule doesn’t get any easier for the Jayhawks.
