I've already written a bunch of words about this one, I guess. TCU almost used turnovers, field position, and big plays to overcome Baylor's relentless deep balls and efficient rushing but couldn't. Still, assuming Oklahoma now beats Baylor in Norman, we've got ourselves a hell of a three-way Big 12 race. This'll be the topic of tomorrow's Win Projection Wednesday piece at SB Nation, but in the F/+ ratings, OU ranks fourth, TCU fifth, and Baylor seventh. Kansas State (29th) and Oklahoma State (30th) lurk.
