The Big 12 was unlucky in the NCAA 1st Round and conversely the ACC was very fortunate to win all its nail biters. There really is no definitive way to claim Best Conference when this happens. Postseason isn’t everything but it does matter. I would also argue that all rating systems for conferences are set in stone Dec 29th and that’s not totally relevant either. Teams certainly change after that point but conference ratings can’t capture that. We all assumed when KSt beat the Big 12 elites it meant KSt was good. Maybe it really meant the top of the league wasn’t. Who knows?
