Big 12 Hoops Conference Power Poll

Atop the national polls, and atop the Big 12, Kansas is like the high school QB. Guys want to be them and girls want to be with them.

Check out the full standings after The Jump to see what some might consider a wee bit of a shocker.

The rankings aren't based on conference or overall records (although that plays a factor).  Instead, they are mostly based on who I wouldn't want to face if I was an opponent.

So why did I chose the second place team I chose? The intensity they showed again that high school QB last weekend showed that they are for real and can compete against anyone. They have toppled the former #1 team in the country and took this week's #1 to OT before succumbing to a group of weathered, proven, gritty champions.

So...

KU is in a class by themselves. Then KSt and Texas. Then the Baylor thru OU grouping, then the rest?

I'd say

KU
KSU-UT
Baylor-Mizzou
OU-CU
NU

My main difference is OU being in the fourth tier, not third.

Also if you look at my tiers, it looks like I am flicking you off. Unless you disagree with any more of my posts, that was completely unintentional. Or maybe it looks like the Gallaga spaceship. Long day.

Actually...

it looks more like a dinky-doo

by TomBruno23 on Feb 4, 2010 4:57 PM CST up reply actions  

don't you mean

KU
KSU-UT
BU-MIZZOU-OSU-A&M
OU-CU
NU

The extra OSU and A&M give the “finger” a little more pop.

I'm sure you could throw Tech and ISU in there too

to create something else, but who’s got the time for that anyway?
