Big 12 finishes

2012: 2nd
2011: 3rd
2010: 1st
2009: 4th
2008: 1st
2007: 6th
2006: 5th

2001: 5th
2000: 5th
1999: 7th
1998: 6th
1997: 5th

Avg Rank: 3.88

So in its history it is roughly the 4th best basketball conference. 8 times it has been 5th or worse, and 7 times its been in the top 3. Certainly of late it has been stronger than it was previously, to an extent helped by the fact it is collapsing and thus has less teams than most major conferences. I guess it depends on how you define being a strong bb conference, but to me that isn't it other than a few outlier years.
