The Big 12/SEC Challenge is in the books, and the Big 12 emerged a 6-4 winner in the annual basketball series.
The Big 12 had a little help. Of the four SEC schools omitted from the challenge this season – the SEC has 14 schools – three are ranked in the top 25. LSU is 6-0 in the SEC and ranked 25th, Mississippi State is 3-3 and ranked 22nd, and Auburn is 2-4 and ranked 16th.
Of course, the rankings don’t mean much. They fall out of fashion on a weekly basis.
