Clearly, voters didn't take well to Oklahoma's poor opening-game performance against Utah State.

I wrote this morning in my power rankings that teams 4-8 (which I ranked Missouri, Texas A&M, Texas Tech, Kansas State and Oklahoma State) in the Big 12 were very close and very interchangeable. The variance in the polls suggests both the media and coaches agree.
