Another week of Big 12 play goes by and the curse of the #1 continues to prevail.
No team has been ranked #1 in back-to-back weeks. If I rank a team #1 - chances are it’s losing at least one of two games that week.
It’s not that these teams I’ve ranked #1 aren’t good, or are paper tigers; Texas and Kansas have been #1 in these power rankings, twice this season, in four separate weeks. It’s that the Big 12 is so good, and is such a grind, that going on a run and building a win streak is close to impossible.
