One

NEBRASKA CORNHUSKERS

After going 4-1 last week, including a 2-1 series with the Texas Longhorns, the Cornhuskers found themselves at the top of the Big 12. Playing two different styles in the Texas series. Usually, the team relies primarily on its offense or primarily on its defense. The Cornhuskers opened with a 14-12 victory and followed it with a 2-0 shutout. They will attempt to continue this streak as they play host to Texas Tech this weekend.

Record 21-4-1

Two

TEXAS A&M AGGIES

After they dropped their series to Oklahoma State last weekend, the Aggies came back this week to go 4-0. The Aggies swept the Kansas Jayhawks this weekend.

Five

OKLAHOMA STATE COWBOYS

After starting the season strong, the Cowboys dropped two of three to Kansas State last weekend. The Cowboys got shut out in two of those three games and could not muster any offense.

Eight

BAYLOR BEARS

The Baylor Bears salvaged their weekend by winning the third game against the Oklahoma Sooners. The Bears will look to build off the win, as they will take a trip to play TCU in a midweek game today. The Bears pitching has been inconsistent this year. The Jayhawks will test them this weekend.

Record 16-9

Nine

KANSAS STATE WILDCATS

The Wildcats shutout Oklahoma State Sunday and captured the series. The Wildcats went 3-1 last week and are starting to pick up momentum as they try to maneuver amid the tough Big 12.
