Interesting to see the growth in the Big 12. Using kenpom's overall program
ranking, there are only 3 Big 12 teams in the top 25 - Kansas (#3 overall), Arizona (#7) and Baylor (#20).

There are 5 ACC teams (Duke, UNC, Louisville, Virginia and Syracuse). There are 4 SEC teams (Kentucky, Texas, Florida and Tennessee).

There are TEN Big Ten teams (Michigan State, Ohio State, UCLA, Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin, Oregon, Purdue, Maryland and Indiana).

Gonzaga (#6), Villanova (#8) and UCONN (#10) are the only other teams outside those 4 conferences.

But outside the top 25 and in the top 50 are: Cincinnati (#31), Oklahoma State (#32), West Virginia (#35), Iowa State (#38), Texas Tech (#42), BYU (#47) and Kansas State (#50).

When you rank teams in order of the top 25 teams that made the biggest jumps this year in their overall program rankings, there were only 5 power conference schools in the top 25 and they were all from the Big 12: Houston, UCF, Cincinnati, Iowa State and BYU.
