is absolutely insane in basketball right now. Just look at current rankings (Massey composite) of "new" Big 12 teams:
3 Baylor
5 Kansas
6 Houston
14 Texas Tech
29 BYU
30 Iowa St.
42 TCU
44 West Virginia
54 Oklahoma St.
64 Cincinnati
68 Kansas St.
77 UCF
When you have 3 teams in the top 10, 6 in the top 30, 8 in the top 50 and the cellar dweller of the conference is still top-100 that's a heck of a conference.
