Who would’ve though that West Virginia would finish in dead last after starting out the season ranked in the top-25? Or what about fourth-place Baylor, who was projected to finish in 9th?

The Big 12 is always full of excitement, surprises, and good basketball, and this season was no exception. Between big upsets, the breaking of records and streaks, and the emergence of surprise teams, this Big 12 regular season truly had it all.

As always, the standings don’t tell the full story. While they do determine champions and seedings, they are not a good indicator of the order of teams. In this case, the Big 12 standings absolutely do not tell the full story from this season.

Without further delay, here is the final regular season edition of the Big 12 power rankings.
