Kansas loses to UCF and doesn't drop. Interesting.

U of H loses two in a row to unranked teams (at the time) and stays in the Top 5.

UH still has elite metrics. Kansas doesn't.

For the first time in Conference history, the Big 12 has eight teams in the Top 25...

BEST BASKETBALL CONFERENCE IN THE COUNTRY.

There just aren't any weak teams in the conference this year. OSU may be the worst, but they are competitive. Outside the top 25, Texas, KSU, UCF, West Va, and Cincy can beat anyone on a given night as we've seen.

The Athletic describes the Big 12 as a "circular firing squad." Good metaphor

This league is a absolute blood bath. , You better be ready to play every night. If you can steal a road win- - -huge props to you. - I'm a KU fan and I'll say I would be willing to bet, we are not the only one who gets beat by UCF in their arena.

These teams are just going to beat one another up , if your not ready to play , your going to get your rear's beat. Teams are no just going to say if they are expected to get beat - - they are not going to say ok , just name the score and we will mail it in. Proof is in the pudding, EIGHT TEAMS in the top 25 - and if it was net year w would have NINE teams in with Arizona. Not even debatable who has the best Conference.

OU is still in the list but won't be in the Big 12 next year. Thankfully.
