The Big 12 has three teams ranked, which trails the SEC (6) and Big Ten (5). The American has three, while the Pac-12 and ACC has one.
So if you combine the future Big 12, there are five teams ranked (minus Oklahoma), which would be tied with the Big Ten for the second-most teams ranked in the Top 25 of any conference.
