Big 12 is what we thought it was: Why conference contenders have their work cut out for them leading up to Selection Sunday

In case there was any doubt, the Big 12 has a ton of work to do before Selection Sunday in five weeks.

The NCAA's sneak preview of the tournament revealed the top 16 seeds at this moment Saturday on CBS.

Kansas was the top Big 12 seed as a No. 3, but it was a mixed blessing. The Jayhawks were routed into the West Regional in Anaheim as opposed to the Midwest and Kansas City's Sprint Center, their home away from home because of "competitive balance" issues. Iowa State earned a No. 4 seed in the East - before Saturday's 92-83 home loss to TCU -- and that was it for the Big 12.
