Houston, TX, October 19, 2026 —

The Marin Independent Journal’s Week 8 Big 12 football power rankings place BYU at the top following the team’s victory over Notre Dame. The report also identifies Texas Tech and Houston as teams moving up in the rankings.

The summary of the rankings does not provide the complete list of teams or their individual positions. It also does not specify how far Texas Tech or Houston rose, where either team was ranked previously, or which teams, if any, moved down. The exact date of the report was not provided.

BYU’s position is linked in the report to its win over Notre Dame, but no details about the game, its score or the timing of the victory are included in the available information. No explanation is provided for Texas Tech’s or Houston’s rise. The report’s description therefore establishes the leading team and notes movement for two others without giving the full ranking or the reasoning behind each placement.

The Week 8 rankings are presented as a snapshot of the Big 12 football order, with BYU first and Texas Tech and Houston trending upward. Further details about the teams’ positions and the criteria used to compile the rankings were not provided.
