Every year, picking the order of the Big 12 is a quixotic exercise. Other than Kansas at #1, the margin between a handful of teams in the middle is thin enough Leonardo DiCaprio tries to date it. A few bounces of the ball here or there and the order can get shuffled. Last year was a perfect case in point: if Texas hits the final three against Kansas and secures an offensive rebound against Baylor in Waco in the final minute of regulation, Texas jumps from 6th to 4th in the standings. If Oklahoma closes out a bit faster on an Iowa State shooter at home, they’re 8-10 in conference play and tied for 5th instead of tied for 7th.
