How it adds up

For sports in which standings are kept, points are based on conference finish and number of teams competing (10 for first, nine for second, etc., in 10-team sports; six for first, five for second in six-team sports, and so on). In other sports, points are based on finish in conference tournaments or meets. Extra points as follows:

Football: Two for a bowl berth, plus one for a top 15 finish in the AP or coaches’ polls, two for a top 4 finish or three for a national championship

Baseball and softball: two for a NCAA tournament berth, plus one for a Big 12 tournament championship (baseball only), plus one for super regionals, two for CWS semifinal berth or three for a national title
