Big 12 College Basketball Power Rankings
The two top teams in the conference, Kansas and Texas, went down to vastly inferior opponents last week. Consequently, both of the powerhouse teams have fallen in this week’s rankings and there is a new No. 1 team. Nobody in the Big 12 registered an impressive win in Week 7, but not many games were played over the holiday week. At the end of Week 8, conference play will begin for several teams.
