Big 12 Women’s Basketball Power Shifts Are Turning Heads Midseason
Right now, the Big 12 women’s basketball picture is changing fast, and that’s exactly why this league is trending across college sports. We’re about eight weeks into the season, and the latest power rankings are showing just how tight and unpredictable the conference has become.
At the top, Iowa State is still holding the number one spot, even after a mixed week. A strong win over Houston helped steady the Cyclones, but a loss to Baylor reminded everyone that no lead in this conference is comfortable. Iowa State has been one of the most consistent teams so far, built on discipline and balance, which is why they remain the team others are chasing.
Right behind them, TCU and Baylor are locked in a familiar Big 12 battle. Baylor’s rise is especially notable. With wins over both Oklahoma State and Iowa State, Baylor sent a clear message that it’s finding its rhythm at the right time. Historically, Baylor has been a powerhouse in women’s basketball, and this recent surge suggests that tradition is very much alive.

One of the biggest stories this week is Utah. Despite a recent loss to Arizona State, Utah picked up a statement win against TCU, making them the biggest riser in the rankings. That kind of volatility explains why fans are paying attention. Teams can jump or slide quickly based on just one or two games.
On the flip side, Arizona State and Kansas are feeling the pressure. Arizona State’s inconsistency has led to a noticeable drop, even with a solid win over Utah. Kansas is in a similar spot, showing flashes of competitiveness but struggling to string together momentum in a league where depth matters every night.
What makes this moment important is the broader context. The Big 12 has expanded and reshaped itself, and the women’s side is benefiting from that parity. There’s no clear-cut dominant team, and that creates meaningful consequences as conference play deepens. Seeding, confidence, and postseason positioning are already being influenced by these early power shifts.
For players and coaches, these rankings are a snapshot of where things stand, not a final judgment. But for fans, they signal something exciting: the Big 12 women’s race is wide open, and every game from here on out carries weight.
As the season moves forward, expect more movement, more surprises, and more attention on a conference that is proving, week by week, that it belongs at the center of the women’s college basketball conversation.
