Elsewhere in the league, Oklahoma dropped two spots to No. 4 after it had to come back — and benefit from another fourth-quarter, fourth-down play — just to beat Kansas. Those Jayhawks head to Stillwater this weekend.
Iowa State is back in the ranking at 23 after its first win over OSU. Baylor moved up from 20 to 18 during a bye week.
