DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) -The only thing that’s ever been certain in the Big 12 is that either Oklahoma or Texas would emerge atop the South division.
That tradition might have been tossed out the window after another wild weekend in league play.
The Sooners suffered their second league loss, this time to Texas A&M. Texas continued its freefall with a 39-14 loss at Kansas State that guaranteed its worst season under coach Mack Brown.
All that helped Oklahoma State more than anyone else. The Cowboys (8-1, 4-1 Big 12) pounded upstart Baylor 55-28 and took control of its own destiny in the South during what many thought would be a rebuilding year.
Oklahoma State and Baylor (7-3, 4-2), picked to finish fifth and sixth in the division in the preseason, now own the top two spots in the South.
