The 2011 Big 12 tournament bracket odds (http://www.teamrankings.com/ncb/conference-tournaments/big-12/) lists the round-by-round survival odds for every 2011 Big 12 tournament team. Using win odds calculations derived from our sophisticated power ratings, we analyze the likelihood and expected outcome of every possible path to the Big 12 tournament championship for every team in the 2011 Big 12 bracket.

The 2011 Big 12 standings determine the seeds of the teams in the 2011 Big 12 Championship bracket. The teams with the best Big 12 conference records receive top seeds in the 2011 Big 12 Championship.

A team's relative odds to win the 2011 Big 12 Championship depend only partly on their Big 12 bracket seed. Winning the Big 12 Championship also depends on the dynamics of the 2011 Big 12 bracket. In some cases, the team with a better Big 12 Championship seed may actually face a harder path to the Big 12 Championship championship than a team with a worse Big 12 tournament seed.

In addition, because Big 12 tournament seeds are based on win-loss records in Big 12 conference games, Big 12 tournament seeds are not always the most accurate measure of a team's true performance level. This is another reason why higher seeded teams in the Big 12 bracket can have better odds to win the 2011 Big 12 Championship than lower seeded teams in the Big 12 bracket.
