Opinion/Polls
With the ACC’s recent decline, there is much debate over which conference is truly the toughest in NCAA basketball.
A case could be made for either the Big 12 or the Big East.
- #3 Pittsburgh
- #4 Kansas
- #5 Kansas State
- #7/9 Connecticut
- #7/8 Syracuse
- #8/9 Missouri

Other teams receiving votes:

This is the first time in history that Kansas, Kansas State and Missouri have been ranked in the top ten at the same time.
For the non math-geeks, the Big East has 6 out of 16 in the top 25… that’s 37% of the conference
The Big 12 has 5 out of 12 teams ranked, which is 41% of the conference.
