Selection Sunday is set for Mar. 17, 2024, which means we are still more than a month away from everything being finalized. The Big 12 has two teams that are capable of being a No. 1 seed when push comes to shove but after a massive win over Houston, the Kansas Jayhawks had another misstep.
In this particular Bracketology, the Cougars get the nod as the No. 1 seed from the Big 12 due to having the second most quad 1 victories in the country. Only Purdue and UConn have more with identical 8-2 records in quad 1.
Check out how the USA TODAY Sports team laid out the latest edition of their brackets on Tuesday:
East Region
- No. 4 BYU Cougars (Spokane)
- No. 6 Texas Tech Red Raiders (Pittsburgh)
- No. 9 TCU Horned Frogs (Brooklyn)
Midwest Region:
- No. 2 Kansas Jayhawks (Omaha)
- No. 8 Texas Longhorns (Indianapolis)
South Region:
- No. 3 Iowa State (Salt Lake City)
- No. 4 Baylor Bears (Charlotte)
- No. 7 Oklahoma Sooners (Memphis)
West Region:
- No. 1 Houston Cougars (Memphis)
- No. 10 Cincinnati Bearcats (Salt Lake City)
Of the nine conferences with representation in the latest bracketology, no conference has more members than the Big 12. A total of 10 teams from the Big 12 were selected, the SEC is a close second with 8 teams.
