Well, like, they're still playing some games, yet. Trick question.

Hey AJ, CF3 here. I'll try my best to be thoughtful. I think OU really has the best team. They have more size, rebounding ability, and can score with the high flying teams in the league. Their toughest road games are behind them and they're already in 1st. If they can go undefeated at home, I thing they win the league.

Nearly impossible to ever pick against Kansas but if you're going to, this is the year. Agree with Cfor3 that the schedule makers didn't do OU favors up front but they are through the worst of it. 8-10 for the 'cats with wins against KU and Texas gets us on the bubble!

60% OU
I believe OU is the best team, the best player in the league, and has the most favorable schedule the rest of the way. Lon has his team playing decent defense as well.

18% KU
KU isn't just losing on the road, they are losing badly. They will lose at least 2 more and probably 3 unless Self pulls off a coaching miracle. (which is possible)

12% ISU
ISU already has a home loss to Baylor and losing Long was a big hit to their depth. That will catch up with them.

8% WVU
Huggs has WVU playing well, but they already have the home loss to Texas. Coaching is carrying them and they are probably the least talented of the Big 12's upper tier. They will lose some more games they shouldn't and won't have enough to win the league.

2% Baylor
Baylor will still lose (and win) games they aren't expected to; its what Drew teams do. Not consistent enough to win the league, but they are a good team.

BOLD PREDICTION: Everyone will lose at least two more games.

that would change things but i'm not convinced that they will

ChiComCat · « **Reply #12 on:** January 26, 2016, 10:55:44 AM »

When WVU was up to #6, Huggs was talking about how his team has to oboard and pressure to get more shots than the opposing team because they can't shoot. I usually would chalk some of that up to Huggs coach-speak but that is absolutely true with his team. Tough to consistently win when they are poor shooters.

I'll bet Ms. Wacky's wedding bands that KU doesn't win it.

I believe that OU has the best opportunity to unseat KU as the conference champions this year. They have the most impressive player so far, and I think that will continue to be the case.
If not OU, then I believe KU shares it with them or Baylor.

I don't see KU losing at home to anyone and I don't see anyone else running the table at their place.

exactly. ku sits at 5-3, they won't lose at home, and their remaining road schedule is:
@TCU
@OU
@K-State
@Baylor
@Texas
I say they lose two of those.

OU is 5-2 with this remaining schedule:

TTU
TCU
@K-State
Texas
KU
@TTU
@WVU
OSU
@Texas
Baylor
@TCU

they're losing at least 3 of those games.

thus, ku wins (at least a share of) the big 12 reg season.

Who do you see OU losing to in that list? I can see @WVU and home against KU as a potential loss (if KU rights the road ship) but who else? @Texas maybe?

How are you?
