As part of SI.com's preview of the 2020–21 men's college basketball season, we're breaking down each of the six major conferences. Starting with the Big 12, the ACC, Big East, Big Ten, Pac-12 and SEC will follow. All will be complete with our analyst's breakdown of each team and a projected order of finish.
The Big Picture
The Big 12 had a legitimate shot at multiple Final Four teams before March Madness was canceled, and the same is true as we look forward to 2020–21. Baylor is likely the conference favorite and a leading Final Four contender, while Kansas and West Virginia could join the emerging power in Waco.
