at 13-11 is a rough record for KSU, both schools have a rough 5 game slate where going 3-2 is probably the best they can hope for, they can pick up alot of Q1 wins but even then it starts leaving them with 17-13 records heading into the BIg 10 tourney
Basically we want a balance where only six teams from the Big 12 end up getting bids. Kansas, Baylor, Texas Tech, and Texas are virtually locked in. Oklahoma State can't make it, leaving TCU, Oklahoma, West Virginia, Kansas State and Iowa State.
It may wind up where that group of five gets enough wins off each other that three of them make it through. In fact maybe that's even inevitable. But yeah, road wins are super valuable and the more you're in the 10, 11 seed range vs. the 8, 9 range the more scrutiny the resume gets.
The ideal outcome is two teams from that group rolling over everyone else. So from that standpoint maybe WVU is the rooting interest tonight, but this week is big. Whichever teams start picking up wins this week, root for them from now on.
Let me see if I game out a scenario...
Oklahoma
Texas L
Iowa State W
Texas Tech L
Oklahoma State L
West Virginia W
Kansas State W
Final record: 17-14 (7-11)
TCU
Iowa State W
Baylor L
West Virginia W
Texas L
Texas Tech L
Kansas L
Kansas L
West Virginia W
Final record: 19-11 (8-10)
West Virginia
Kansas State W
Kansas L
TCU L
Iowa State W
Texas L
Oklahoma L
TCU L
Final record: 16-15 (5-13)
Iowa State
TCU L
Oklahoma L
West Virginia L
Kansas State W
Oklahoma State L
Baylor L
Final record: 17-14 (4-14)
Kansas State
West Virginia L
Oklahoma State L
Kansas L
Iowa State L
Texas Tech L
Oklahoma L
Final record: 13-17 (5-13)
Oklahoma and TCU safely in under this scenario. Does Iowa State get in with this resume? What if they completely lose out?
It's unlikely, sure. I'd say 80% seven bids. 15% six bids, 5% eight bids.
Ksu isnt going to lose all those games.
I bet some of these upset some at the top of the standings

If you thought we had bad losses….

If the Big Ten gets only seven bids ,Rutgers ,Michigan and Indiana will be fighting for the last slot.thats his old bracket, inexplicably he has not done a full one for 3 days..wtf, its literally his job, he has done updates on twitter, here was from yesterday

I am 10 hours in, 10 schools left to do a write up for. Should have it delivered by midnight...good for night owls while the morning crew can start their day with some java and crullers when they wake up
Excellent news... BracketMatrix should refresh tonight too, anxious to compare.
Where can I get gluten free crullers for those who are sensitive to gluten?
A lot of teams outside the field are stumbling. Need more teams currently projected in to drop some games. Oregon would be a good start.
Hillsborough Deli runs specials on gluten free stuff.
Looks like we're in 8 of the 110 brackets on there now if I'm understanding it correctly. Up from 1 or 2 last week.
