Title: Standings: 2 through 6

This will be really fascinating how this shakes out. We finish 2nd we could have the inside track to KC for the tourney. This next stretch we can really position ourselves @OU, @TT and home against ISU.

I wonder what this will do for the Big 12's NCAA spots if there is a huge chunk of teams in the middle of the pack.  Will teams get bumped ala TTU over KSU some years ago, or will the Big 12 surprise with 6(+?) entries.

It should help that the Big 12 has a balanced schedule, so an argument can't be made among conference schools that one team played a tougher schedule than the other.

All the teams are projected to have RPIs under 50, so that gives each an opportunity for 4 Top 50 RPI wins. The team that can manage a win or two against the other 4 on the road or get a win against KU will have a chance to separate as long as they avoid bad losses. The Big 12 should get 5 and may get 6 if those teams all win at home and lose on the road against each other.

Tell you what, can't say I wouldn't be excited to drop my Will hate for a couple days to see him go off for about 40 in Spradling Family Arena in an NCAA torn-a-ment game

Just as likely to get 4 as to get 7 IMO.  That 7th spot would go to who?  WV?  LOL.

If they keep beating each other up, there's a good chance that an OSU or ISU type team is left out (the @tech loss will smart for ISU if we are their biggest W on the year).

Lots of mediocrity in college b-ball this year means lots of "bubble" teams IMO.

Team 6 will be at .500 in conference play but they should be able to get a couple of top 50 wins
