Big 12

Big 12 is better than the SEC. UT/OU are both Final Four contenders while sEC doesnt even have a legit sweet sixteen team.

Horizon league

The horizon league is a little far out in my opinion. the league is as deep as its ever been. just because butler isn't going to have all the spotlight does not mean the league together wont shine. the league will have sum upsets in the non conference. watch and see!

HL at 16th is pretty normal

HL at 16th is pretty normal for that league. The last 2 seasons theyve been higher, in large part due to butler's amazing RPIs. Before those 2 good years, HL was between 15-20th for a couple seasons which seems about where they are right now.

I agree, there is no way the SEC is better than the Big 12 from top to bottom.

I think the SEC will

I think the SEC will surprise many this year, and that Big 12 will be a bit of a disappointment. In the past 10 years, the SEC has topped the Big 12 8 times, though last year was one of those years. Even last year with Kansas winning it all and Texas being top 10, big 12 was only 1 place better than the SEC. If UK and Florida bounce back in the big ways I expect, it could very well happen. And for every bad team in the SEC like Arkansas there's an equally bad Colorado team.
