Big 12 Men’s Basketball Power Rankings: Final Standings

After nine weeks of conference play, here’s where the teams ended the season

It’s been a rollercoaster of a season. The Big 12 is clearly the best league in the nation, so conference play was a gauntlet.

The regular season is behind us, and the Big 12 Tournament begins today. We know the seedings based on the regular-season performance, but do those seedings match what our panel of voters think?

We have brought together a group from across the league to vote each week during the season on the Big 12 Power Rankings. There are 21 participants in this group, which consists of the KillerFrogs editorial staff plus one or two fans from each of the other schools in the league. Each week, each participant provides their rankings 1-10. Those rankings are compiled, and the average rank is then listed below.

For these final Power Rankings of the season, we thought we’d recap each team’s journey – where they started, where they finished, and where they went in between.
