The Big 12 has a clear top team: the Utah Utes, No. 2 in the latest US LBM Coaches Poll after a top-10 win over in-state rival BYU.

Behind the Utes, the top five is set with Houston, BYU, Texas Tech and Arizona the clear four favorites to face the Utes in the Big 12 title game. Oklahoma State sits just below that group and might have the best offense, but its defense leaves a lot to be desired.

Baylor, Cincinnati and Arizona State all look like solid bowl teams. Kansas State, Kansas and Colorado are the clear bottom three teams in the conference.

Here's how all 16 Big 12 teams stack up after Week 10 action.
