RPI rank: No. 1Record vs. RPI top-10 leagues: 34-20Biggest non-league wins: Kansas at Georgetown; Iowa State at Iowa; Oklahoma over UCLAChampionship contenders: NoneFinal Four contenders: TexasTourney contenders: Kansas, West Virginia, Baylor, Iowa State, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, TCULikely bids: SevenOverview: It might seem harsh to leave the Big 12 entirely out of the national championship mix, especially after Texas played so well at Kentucky without point guard Isaiah Taylor. Perhaps his return will merit a change in that position, but the offense isn’t likely to be quite dynamic enough. The Big 12 is a league in which nearly every victory will be hard to earn, and one of the few high-level conferences in which a double round-robin schedule is in place. So this will be the most fun league, but the absence of national title challengers pushes it down a notch.
Decoursy says that the Big 12 is 2nd best conference, and we should get 7 bids. This will be color printed and laminated by oscar and tacked to Currie's office door.http://www.sportingnews.com/ncaa-basketball/story/2014-12-29/top-conferences-college-basketball-ncaa-2014-season-acc-big-12-big-ten-big 10/slide/2QuoteRPI rank: No. 1Record vs. RPI top-10 leagues: 34-20Biggest non-league wins: Kansas at Georgetown; Iowa State at Iowa; Oklahoma over UCLAChampionship contenders: NoneFinal Four contenders: TexasTourney contenders: Kansas, West Virginia, Baylor, Iowa State, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, TCULikely bids: SevenOverview: It might seem harsh to leave the Big 12 entirely out of the national championship mix, especially after Texas played so well at Kentucky without point guard Isaiah Taylor.
