No games have been played since our spring power rankings so there's not much movement in our preseason big 12 power rankings below. Baylor kicks things off for the conference and the entire country Thursday night when they host Wake Forest and everybody else finally gets underway Saturday. For now Oklahoma and Texas stay on top while the group behind them shuffles around a little.

A week from now in our first regular season power rankings things will begin to clear up, but here's our top 4:

1. Oklahoma
   The Sooners are on many lists as a top national title contender and until at least October will likely remain the class of the conference. We won't learn a thing about them in week one against Chattanooga.
2. Texas
   Muschamp fever is spreading and I've definitely caught it. The Texas defensive depth chart is incredibly young but with Muschamp calling the shots there could be a big improvement over last year.
3. Missouri
   Mizzou moves up because I've got less and less faith in Texas Tech as we get closer to kickoff. The offense will be great, can Gary Pinkel and the defense hold up their end of the bargain?
4. Texas Tech
   Improved defense? Where? The Red Raiders played four good teams after the coaching change and gave up 41, 59, 27, and 28 points. They'll be good but they'll fade again when they hit the tough stretch.
