Big 12 Men’s Basketball 2026–272025–262024–25

The Big 12, rated

A rating is points per game against an average Division I team on a neutral floor. Two ratings subtract: on a neutral floor Arizona would be about a 14-point favorite over Utah, and the home side gets 3.0 more. Results land around that prediction with a spread of 11.0 points, which is what turns a gap into a chance.

Fitted to 0 games as of 2026-10-20, refitted every Monday morning. The method is the football section's: the ratings, and one home-court number, that best explain every margin played, by least squares. Teams with only a handful of Division I games are rated together as one, so a single result cannot carry a team. Until a team has played about ten games its rating is blended with last season's, pulled most of the way back to average.
