Disagree with us? Put your rankings in the comments section.

1. Missouri Tigers

Overall Record: 23-2 (10-2 conference)
Last Week's Record: 1-0
Last Week's Ranking/Movement: 1, same
What Evan Says: From KU to Baylor, Mizzou is now 3-0 against the top of the conference. Revenge will be on their mind tomorrow against Ok State.

2. Kansas Jayhawks

Overall Record: 21-5 (11-2)
Last Week's Record: 3-0
Last Week's Ranking/Movement: 2, same
What Nathan Says: Last two games for Jeff Withey: 36 points, 31 rebounds and 16 blocked shots. Better be Big 12 Player of the Week.

3. Baylor Bears

Overall Record: 22-4 (9-4)
Last Week's Record: 1-2
Last Week's Ranking/Movement: 3, same
What Nathan Says: They don't play Kansas or Missouri anymore so they should win the rest of their games, right? Isn't that how it works?

4. Iowa St. Cyclones

Overall Record: 18-8 (8-5)
Last Week's Record: 1-2
Last Week's Ranking/Movement: 4, same
What Nathan Says: Chris Allen's thing at Michigan State was three-point shooting. He's nailed 18 3s in the last five games.

5. Texas Longhorns

Overall Record: 16-9 (6-6)
Last Week's Record: 1-0
Last Week's Ranking/Movement: 6, up one spot
What E. Carnes Says: That was a much-needed win against K-State. If the 'Horns can win the games they're supposed to win (OU, OK State, Tech) a 5th place Big 12 finish and a tournament spot are theirs.

6. Kansas St. Wildcats

Overall Record: 17-8 (6-7)
Last Week's Record: 1-2
Last Week's Ranking/Movement: 5, down one spot
What Evan Says:
K-State really, realy needed either a win in Austin or against KU. With their next two games @Baylor and @Mizzuo, they may have played themselves out of an NCAA tourney bid.

7. Oklahoma St. Cowboys

Overall Record: 12-13 (5-7)
Last Week's Results: 1-1
Last Week's Ranking/Movement: 7, same
What Evan Says: Even if they sweep the Mizzou series tomorrow night, they have a brutal schedule remainingin pursuit of an NCAA tourney bid.

8. Texas A&M Aggies

Overall Record: 12-12 (3-9)
Last Week's Record: 0-1
Last Week's Ranking/Movement: 8, same
What E. Carnes Says: Khris Middleton's back, but Dash Harris is still out. They aren't looking like a team that can beat Texas Tech tonight.

9. Oklahoma Sooners

Overall Record: 13-11 (3-9)
Last Week's Record: 0-1
Last Week's Ranking/Movement: 9, same
What Evan Says: A four game losing streak (including one to Tech) and only one winable game left on the schedule... maybe Lon should have stayed at UNLV.

10. Texas Tech Red Raiders

Overall Record: 8-16 (1-11)
Last Week's Record: 1-1
Last Week's Ranking/Movement: 10, same
What E. Carnes Says: You guys, they did it! They won a conference game!
