The recent rankings show just how difficult the landscape is. Arizona sits at No. 2 nationally, while Houston (No. 8), BYU (No. 9), Iowa State (No. 10), Texas Tech (No. 19) and Kansas (No. 21) all are ranked in the top 25.
TCU, Utah, Baylor and Colorado are the three Big 12 teams receiving votes this week.
Colorado will attempt to move to 8-0 Monday night against fellow 7-0 team, Cal Baptist, a record the Buffaloes have not held to start a season since 1949-50.
