The Big 12 is once again one of the best, and toughest to rank, conferences in college basketball. Every game in conference play seems to go down to the wire no matter who is playing or where it is being played. Eight of the ten teams are ranked in the top 100 of the RPI, seven of which are ranked in the top 55. The conference also has 5 teams ranked or receiving votes in the AP Top 25, two of which are ranked in the top 5.
Coming this Saturday, we will get a better chance to see the depth and strength of the conference in the Big 12/SEC Challenge.
