I admit I wasn't paying complete attention but it seems that Dick Vitale was expressing his belief that although the Big 12 has been consistently on of the top conferences in recent years, it is down this year. It is really too early to say, but based on Massey's composite, this looks to be another great year for the Big 12. Every team is in the top 50 in the country.
1. Kansas
17. Baylor
18. West Virginia
36. Kansas St.
37. Oklahoma St.
38. TCU
45. Texas Tech
46. Texas
49. Oklahoma
50. Iowa St.
In the top 50 there are:
Big 12 - 10 teams
ACC - 9 teams
SEC - 7 teams
Big 10 - 7 teams
Big East - 7 teams
Pac 12 - 4 teams
American - 3 teams
West Coast - 2 teams
Atlantic 10 - 1 team
