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.
