Texas still being ranked is a joke, and imo is simply designed to give the Big 12 extra credibility is doesn't deserve.

The entire ranking system has become a joke. In basketball, it has proven to be meaningless when It comes to NCAA tourney seedings.

Possibly, regardless, Texas still being ranked prominently in the T25 instead of in with the "others" in the fine print is really annoying to me. Big 12 is not that great and Texas shouldn't be getting so much credit for knocking off a couple of their overrated teams.
