QB Davis Webb records 396 yards and four touchdowns in the Bears' victory, but RB Vic Enwere's dropped ball at the 1-yard line created a controversial end to California's 50-43 win over No. 11 Texas. (0:42)

Another wild week in the Big 12 is in the books. Bad losses by Texas and Oklahoma might have further dented the conference's College Football Playoff hopes, but there's still a very long season ahead and we're only one game into conference play.

Here's how we're ranking the Big 12 teams after Week 3:

1. Baylor (previous ranking: 2): You can’t really say Baylor hasn’t played anybody when the Bears are 2-0 against Big 12 expansion candidates, right? They’re moving on to conference play after a 38-10 win at Rice and start with a big-time statement game at home against Oklahoma State. After a six-point first half against SMU and a scoreless first quarter against Rice, Baylor’s offense is due for one of its classic high-scoring hot starts against the Pokes.

2. West Virginia (4): West Virginia might be the only team in the Big 12 feeling legitimately pleased after three weeks. The 2-0 Mountaineers moved up to this No. 2 spot by default during their bye week. Their win over Missouri looks a little better today after the Tigers nearly upset Georgia. They’ll be well-rested and ready this week for a trip to D.C. to face a BYU team that’s lost two in a row.

3. Oklahoma State (6): A record-setting offensive performance gets the headlines, but the impressive response from Oklahoma State’s defense after a two-hour weather delay and the big plays from RB Rennie Childs (101 yards, four TDs) in the 45-38 win over a good Pitt team were really encouraging developments. When Mason Rudolph and James Washington are clicking like they did Saturday, they’re hard to beat.

4. Texas (1): Yes, the refs made a bad call on their “immediate recovery” judgment. But Texas has to get over that and start fixing a defense that gave up 50 (should’ve been 57) points. Fans have been quick to blame DC Vance Bedford, but it’s still Charlie Strong’s defense. And Shane Buechele did not look right in the second half after suffering what Texas deemed a chest injury. Texas is fortunate to have a bye week to address all that before Big 12 play.

5. TCU (5): The only team with a 1-0 record in Big 12 play is in relatively good shape, so long as the injuries WR KaVontae Turpin, DE Josh Carraway and CB Jeff Gladney suffered Saturday aren’t serious. Gary Patterson wasn’t thrilled with TCU’s performance in the 41-20 win over Iowa State, but his offense took care of business. Moving Deante Gray from receiver to corner proved to be a nice twist, too.

6. Oklahoma (3): Hard to know where to rank these Sooners. On one hand, it’s entirely possible every Big 12 team would go 0-2 against Houston and Ohio State. On the other, Oklahoma did not play particularly well in either of those games. A return trip to the playoff is almost certainly off the table now, but it’s not crazy to think OU can still get its act together and make another run at a Big 12 title.

7. Kansas State (7): K-State emerged from its Week 2 bye ready to roll with a 63-7 win over FAU. Quality day for the run game, which churned out 336 yards and seven scores on 54 totes. Coach Bill Snyder was still frustrated, though, by the fact the Wildcats committed 12 penalties. He knows they won’t get away with that in Big 12 play.

8. Texas Tech (8): Patrick Mahomes did Patrick Mahomes things to get Texas Tech back on track with a 59-45 win over Louisiana Tech: 507 total yards and six TDs on 72-percent passing. Big night for rising WR Jonathan Giles, too. Not a particularly inspiring performance from Tech’s defense, but this week it was good enough.

9. Iowa State (10): It’s easy to fixate on what Iowa State is doing at quarterback after going back and forth between Joel Lanning and Jacob Park. Neither made much of a difference in the loss to TCU. The Frogs shut down Allen Lazard (one catch) and sent the Cyclones to their first 0-3 start since 1997.

10. Kansas (9): The Jayhawks turned the ball over six times -- four fumbles, two interceptions, one of them a pick-six -- and fell behind fast in a 43-7 loss at Memphis. Can’t go four quarters with anybody when you do that. The road losing streak is now at 39 games.
