The preseason AP poll was released today and four Big 12 teams found themselves in the top 25. Somewhat surprisingly, Baylor, ranked third in the Big 12 preseason poll by local media, came in as the highest ranked Big 12 team in the AP poll at No. 12. Kansas ranked right behind Baylor, coming in at No. 13. Texas A&M was ranked No. 19 and Missouri just made the cut at No. 25.
