Instead of power rankings this week, we are introducing the bubble watch for Big 12 teams. We will alternate these for the next couple weeks and release both weekly as we get closer to March.
Locks:
To call any team a lock at this point would be foolish. Big 12 teams still have 14 regular season games to go (13 conference + Big 12/SEC Challenge) as well as the Big 12 tournament. However, there are three teams in the Big 12 that are on the verge of gaining lock status: Kansas, West Virginia, and Baylor.
