In the aftermath of realignment, it is sometimes easy to forget who plays in which conference, who moved this season and who will move next season. And despite the name “Big 12” the most powerful basketball conference in the nation right now has only 10 teams. That is worth mentioning because most prognosticators believe seven of those teams will end up playing in the NCAA tournament.
That’s right, seven – or 70 percent of the conference members. Amazing. Kansas, Oklahoma State, Iowa State and Oklahoma are all in the Power Rankings this week. Baylor and Kansas State have made appearances but Baylor dropped out this week. Baylor takes a three-game losing streak into Saturday’s game against Texas. And the Longhorns, now 4-2 in the Big 12, are on the verge of being ranked after beating Kansas State 67-64 at the buzzer Tuesday night.
It’s going to be a wild ride to the finish. Here are this week’s rankings:
