Usually, the Big 12 hierarchy is easy to forecast. The conference ladder bleeds blue, with Kansas atop the conference as the 14-year Big 12 champion.

West Virginia Mountaineers
Preseason Rank: 13
Current Rank: N/A
Record: 8-4
West Virginia has stumbled through their non-conference slate. It’s the epitome of underwhelming from the (former) 13th-ranked program in the nation. The first 12 games have acknowledged their many weak points.
