i mean i know i said it was a no win situation from the start, but i still can't stop thinking about how they let the mol get out of hand in the last minute.

I'm pretty excited for this 31 (2-3) vs 34 (0-5) matchup

Chat?  Thinking if I should get a 'cut today, or if we'd even need one for a game of this magnitude.

i've already mentioned this in another thread, but this game is a can't lose situation for the cats.  either we get a win and give our kenpom a nudge back below without adding an impressive win to the old resume or we get to pad our loss total without taking much of hit on the kenpom.  i'd rather see us get the loss and build up a little margin of safety before we play dangerous home games against wvu and ku, but either result can be viewed positively.

as long as we don't give up some stupid big mol or something, we're golden tonight.

so with the cats up to 27th, and the prediction now at 9-9, it's a glass half full/half empty dilemma.  what it really means is we're right back on the tightrope, the fulcrum if you prefer.  there's no room to let west virginia out of manhattan without a win, if we have to lose by more than we'd like, then we just have to bite the bullet and take the mol hit.

isu 23rd, tcu 32nd, tech 33rd.  it's a dog fight in the middle with everyone but tcu predicted to hit 9-9.  tcu at an 8-10 prediction.  the cows slip to 39th, ou moves into the fringe of the picture all the way back at 62nd.  with 6-12 and 5-13 predictions respectively, they both have room to absorb excess wins on their way up.

there's no way to paint a happy face on this debacle, this was a crushing blow.  kstate's kp30nt hopes may not be dead, but they're teetering on the wrong side of the fulcrum.  there's no room for another win like this and we'll probably need to steal an unexpected loss or two somewhere along the way to have a chance.  if there's any solace from today's games, it was in the cows' triumphant return to the kp30nt spotlight.  after a week of frittering away chances, the cows beat their projection by 23 points and catapulted back into the driver's seat.  tech takes the other side of the cows' good fortune, tumbling well back on the leader board. ou failed to capitalize on their post-wvu bounce and is dropped from consideration pending further developments.

isu - 24th, 10-8
ksu - 26th, 10-8
osu - 29th, 7-11
tcu - 33rd, 8-10
tech - 42nd, 7-11

I bet every 8-10 Big 12 gets in the big dance.

so, i take the opposite side (at least one 8-10 big 12 does not get in).  if there are no 8-10 teams, it's proof that fattyfest'17 is not favored in the eyes of our lord.

loser donates $100?
