There are five Big 12 teams in the Top 25 and another two (OSU and Oklahoma) receiving votes.

Former OSU coach Brad Underwood has Illinois at No. 6 in the country despite an 82-69 loss to No. 2 Baylor last week. Speaking of former OSU coaches, Ford’s Saint Louis squad was also in the receiving votes category. The Billikens would’ve been ranked 27th in an expanded poll.

There are some who think the Pokes are a top-25 team. Jeff Goodman released his rankings Monday morning, and he put OSU at No. 23.

The NCAA’s Andy Katz thinks highly of OSU, too. He put the Pokes at 29 in his weekly Power 36 rankings on Monday.

The last time OSU was in the AP Top 25 was Feb. 16, 2015, the year after Marcus Smart left.

The Cowboys will finish their nonconference slate this week with games against Oral Roberts and Wichita State.
