Big 12 Baseball Power Rankings: Week 10 - Another Week, A New Number One

Disclaimer: The rankings below are for the games played through Sunday, April 13. Midweek games played since Sunday will be reflected on next week’s Power Rankings.

This is our third week of publishing our Big 12 Baseball Power Rankings. And for the third time, we have a new team at the top of the rankings - West Virginia. Kansas State and then Kansas were the previous teams to hold the top spot.

Last week's top team, Kansas, dropped four spots after being swept last weekend by TCU. And with the sweep, TCU moved up to the No. 2 spot this week. Last week's last place team, Utah, stayed in the No. 14 spot again this week.

We have gathered a group of about 20 to vote on these Power Rankings each week. The group consists of many of the staff here at TCU Horned Frogs On SI, plus fans representing many of the teams in the Big 12. After each weekend, the group submits their votes, 1-14. Their votes are tabulated, and the results are provided below.

Here's where our panel of voters ranked the teams this week:
