Another week of college basketball action saw significant movement in the Big 12 Conference. Iowa State and Arizona appear to be the top two teams in the conference, taking over the reins from Houston and BYU. Kansas is back where it belongs in the Big 12’s upper tier.
With four teams ranked in the top 10 and two more in the top 20, the Big 12 continues its dominance as the best basketball conference in the country. That top group will likely remain consistent over the next few weeks before conference play heats up in the new year.
