Similar to the committee’s first reveal, recent results continue to be a big driver of seeding positions. This was particularly evident with Colorado, which tumbled from the No. 1 seed line to the No. 4 seed line after losing road contests to Utah, Southern California and UCLA.
On the other end of the spectrum is top-16 newcomer Oklahoma. The Sooners started the season 6-5, including a catastrophic loss to Southern University — a team that ranks 220th in the NET. Since entering conference play, Oklahoma has won 15 of its past 17 games, including sweeping the season series against Texas with a win over the Longhorns on Wednesday night. The 17-game stretch has also included wins over Kansas State and Baylor to help secure a Big 12 regular season title, leaving the Sooners looking like they’re peaking at the right time. Despite a rough start to the season, Oklahoma is now in position to host the opening two rounds of the NCAA tournament if it has a strong showing against Kansas this weekend and in the Big 12 tournament next week.
