For now ... according to Jerry Palm.

Go Texas Tech ... Win the Big 12!!!

Amazingly, the Big 12 is the #7 conference with the non-conference season drawing to a close. Conference ratings are pretty much set after that. I have maintained for the past few years that the Big 12 is the most overrated conference in womens basketball. This year, they upgraded the schedule a little and proved it. The "weak" WAC is #10. The Sun Belt is #13. For the first season since our move it looks like the WAC may be ready to step up to a top flight womens basketball conference like the men.

I still think RPI stinks but the WAC might place 2 or 3 this season if the selection committee decides not to give the SEC 10 bids.
