Team B is our winner

I voted for Team B, but I did have an advantage over the rest of the you that might have influenced your selection (or maybe not)? All 3 of these teams are from the same conference, and there have been several head-to-head matchups. Team A is 2-1 in the head-to-heads, Team B is 2-0, and Team C is 0-3. Take out the head-to-heads (which you were unaware of) and my vote would have been for C, as well. I just couldn't ignore those results, despite Team B's horrific non-conference schedule.

Final Tally
A (Baylor) = 0
B (Kansas State) = 3
C (Texas) = 2

Baylor
Best 3 Wins (using RPI): #6 Kansas, #13 Texas Tech, vs. #36 Creighton (total = 55)

Kansas State
Best 3 Wins (using RPI): #22 TCU, #35 Oklahoma, @ #47 Baylor (total = 104)

Texas
Best 3 Wins (using RPI): #13 Texas Tech, #22 TCU, @ #34 Alabama (total = 69)
