- How it adds up
-
For sports in which standings are kept, points are based on conference finish and number of teams competing (10 for first, nine for second, etc., in 10-team sports; six for first, five for second in six-team sports, and so on). In other sports, points are based on finish in conference tournaments or meets. Extra points as follows:
Football: Two for a bowl berth, plus one for a top 15 finish in the AP or coaches’ polls, two for a top 4 finish or three for a national championship.
Baseball and softball: Two for a NCAA tournament berth, plus one for a Big 12 tournament championship (baseball only), plus one for super regionals, two for CWS semifinal berth or three for a national title.
Basketball, soccer, tennis and volleyball: Two for an NCAA tournament berth, plus one for a Big 12 tournament title (except volleyball), plus one for a Sweet 16 berth, two for a Final Four berth or three for a national title.
Golf: One for an NCAA regional berth, plus one for an NCAA championship berth, plus one for a top 15 finish, two for a top 4 or three for a national title.
Track: Only the highest total of cross country, indoor and outdoor track is counted.
Swimming and diving: Two for an NCAA top 20 finish, plus one for a Top 10 finish, two for a top 4 or three for a national title.
Gymnastics and rowing: Two for an NCAA finals berth plus one for a top 4 finish or three for a national title.
Wrestling: Two for an NCAA top 20 finish, plus one for a top 10 finish, two for a top 4 or three for a national title.
Equestrian: One for Big 12 equestrian tournament championship. Points are not awarded for NCEA national championship tournament since it isn’t an NCAA championship sport.
Ties in the standings in a given sport are broken by head-to-head results, when applicable. Points are not awarded for acrobatics and tumbling because it isn’t a Big 12 sport.
