Kansas Takes Top Spot in Baseball's Final Power Rankings; Frogs Finish Third

As the Big 12 Championship is underway at Globe Life Field, it's time for us to put a wrap on the regular season with our final Big 12 Baseball Power Rankings.

In our final rankings, it's not West Virginia in the top spot. Instead, the Kansas Jayhawks soared back to the top spot. Kansas held the No. 1 ranking for one week in the season on April 7. Kansas did sweep the Mountaineers in the last weekend of the regular season. Kansas also finished with more conference wins. West Virginia, though, did have a higher winning percentage since they played two fewer games.

All season, we have gathered a group of about 20 to vote on these Power Rankings each week. The group consists of many of the staff here at TCU Horned Frogs On SI, plus fans representing many of the teams in the Big 12. After each weekend, the group submits their votes, 1-14. Their votes are tabulated, and the results are provided below.

Here's where our panel of voters ranked the teams this week:
