As we look back on Week 3 of the college football season, the Big 12 Conference bounced back in a big way, with the Kansas State Wildcats, West Virginia Mountaineers, Texas Longhorns and others rolling to impressive wins.

Week 0 of the college football season proved the Big 12 Conference is still alive and well and should view itself as such compared to the Pac-12, Big Ten and others. Also, the Texas Longhorns name their starting quarterback and we have our Week 1 Power Rankings!

I was joined this week by Brett Ciancia of Pick Six Previews, voted the "most accurate Power 5" preview magazine in college football, to take a look at the Big 12 season. Who can challenge the Oklahoma Sooners? Where is the strength in the middle of the conference? That and much more!

After the ACC, Big Ten and Pac-12 rolled out their "alliance" on Tuesday, the Big 12 Conference should not worry because the alliance is completely toothless and meaningless.
