After last night, the standings look as follows:
Big 12 Conf All
Oklahoma (2) 12-1 24-3
Baylor (5) 10-3 22-4
Texas A&M (14) 9-4 21-5
Kansas St. (16) 8-5 21-5
Texas (12) 8-5 20-7
Iowa St. (21) 8-5 20-7
Texas Tech 5-8 15-12
Oklahoma St. 4-9 15-11
Kansas 4-9 15-11
Nebraska 4-9 13-13
Missouri 3-10 12-14
Colorado 3-10 11-14
While there is a remote shot at the #3 seed, aggy would have to lose twice while we won out since they would have the tie-breaker by virtue of us giving them both games.
We beat ISU already, so we have the edge on them in any tie. Same thing would hold true if we beat KSU.
ISU probably has the easiest of the three schedules of those presently at 8-5...they have road games at Tech and Mizzou with a home game against Kansas. While Lubbock is always a home for strange happenings, Tech is in a state of shell-shock right now. It is not improbable to expect ISU to finish at 11-5.
KSU has both aggy AND us at THEIR place and then goes on the road to play Colorado. Chalk up Colorado while the other two games SHOULD be a loss for them, putting them at 9-7.
A&M has Baylor and KSU on the road with a game against Sluggo in College Station...not inconceivable that they lose one of those three games to also finish 11-6, but they have the aforementioned tie-break against us.
We get the gauntlet, but at least Baylor and O-Who are at home...given the ISU schedule, we REALLY need to win out so that we also finish at 11-5.
The best anyone presently in the 7-12 slots could finish would be is Tech with a remote shot at 8-8 if they won out.
I would really hate to see us finish at #5 and have a probable rematch with Colorado...you have to believe they are going to be a little pissed over their poor showing when we spanked them earlier this season.
Consistency and ball control will be key elements over the last three games before the tournament...and for the two games at home, we need big turnouts that can be extremely vocal.
