11. Baylor (previous: No. 12)

The defending Big 12 champs lost starting wide receiver R.J. Sneed to the portal but picked up Tulsa defensive tackle Jaxon Player, a Waco native who The Athletic’s Max Olson ranked as the nation’s No. 6 available transfer at the time. He joins an already stout defensive line led by All-Big 12 DT Siaki Ika.


15. Oklahoma State (previous: No. 14)

The Cowboys have not yet added a transfer but recently lost All-Big 12 cornerback and four-year starter Jarrick Bernard-Converse to LSU. Another defensive starter, safety Tanner McCalister, followed defensive coordinator Jim Knowles to Ohio State. On the bright side, highly respected defensive coordinator Derek Mason left Auburn to replace Knowles in Stillwater.


22. Cincinnati (previous: No. 20)

Luke Fickell has added no new players since early signing day, but he’s been busy filling out his staff. He promoted quarterback coach Gino Guidugli to offensive coordinator and hired former Cincinnati assistant and, more recently, Ohio State defensive coordinator Kerry Coombs as special teams coordinator.


23. Houston (previous: No. 22)

Dana Holgorsen already had the makings of a special offense, but he added more potential contributors in West Virginia wide receiver Sam Brown and USC’s Joseph Manjack.

Just Missed: BYU, Oklahoma, Kansas State

All of our incoming transfers (5 total) aside from the kicker announced after early signing day so not sure why it states otherwise.

Fine with the ranking

It should also be interesting to see how much improvement Kansas makes with Leipold and how OU and Texas Tech fare with new coaches.

Can't wait for 2023 to get here.
