Week two of conference play is behind us, and the Oklahoma Sooners are beginning to separate themselves from the pack after their three-game sweep of the Texas Longhorns.
The series sweep of Texas put the Sooners in the driver’s seat in the conference and put a sizable gap between them and their Red River rival. The Longhorns would need some help to get back into the Big 12 regular season title race.
With Oklahoma State on a bye last week, the Sooners are 1.5 games up on the Cowgirls in the standings but hold three more wins currently.
There’s a clear top three teams in the conference with Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, and Texas.
Here’s a look at the latest Big 12 standings heading into week three of Big 12 play.
