I now expect the Big 12 Standings to end like this:

1. Texas (13 - 3) Defeated Kansas based on head-to-head record.
2. Kansas (13 - 3) Lost to Texas based on head-to-head record.
3. Kansas State (10 - 6)
4. Baylor (9 - 7)
5. Oklahoma (8 - 8) Defeated Okla State and Texas Tech based on round-robin record.
6. Texas Tech (8 - 8) With Okla State, lost to Oklahoma based on round-robin record. Defeated Okla State based on record against #1 South Division teams.
7. Oklahoma State (8 - 8) With Texas Tech, lost to Okla based on round-robin record. Lost to Texas Tech based on record against #1 South Division teams.
8. Nebraska (7 - 9) Defeated Texas A&M based on head-to-head record.
9. Texas A&M (7 - 9) Lost to Nebraska based on head-to-head record.
10. Missouri (6 - 10)
11. Iowa State (4 - 12)
12. Colorado (3 - 13)


That would make the Brackets look like:
#8 Nebraska vs #9 Texas A&M winner vs #1 Texas.
#7 Oklahoma State vs #10 Missouri winner vs #2 Kansas.
#6 Texas Tech vs #11 Iowa State winner vs #3 Kansas State.
#5 Oklahoma vs #12 Colorado winner vs #4 Baylor

* Texas Tech winning yesterday was terrible for the Cowboys. That pushed Tech past us in the standings and knocked us down to the #7 seed facing Missouri, then Kansas in Kansas City. Terrible. I would have liked our chances MUCH better had we been the #6 seed facing Iowa State, then Kansas State.

* Were the Cowboys to end at 9-7, that would place the Pokes #4 ahead of Baylor (all else being equal).

* I'm still expecting the Cowboys to be NIT bound.

You could be right... but right now I have hope... these next two games are hard, but not impossible.

One thing is certain, since we play UT on Sunday, then most everything will be decided by then, and our win/loss in that game will put is in one position or another... everything else should be set in stone...

So you are assuming that we win one and lose one to finish out this season, right? IMHO, after watching these past seven games, I see a new and determined Cowboy team on the court and say we win out against u of o and UT. OMG, did I just become a sunshine pumper???? I also see us doing very well in the Big XII tourney. I haven't thought too much beyond that point, but I would love to see us in the Dance, but I am realistic and do expect the NIT.

Is there any scenario where we wind up with the 6 seed?

I would really like us to be the 5 or 6. 4 would be nice, but really I'd like to have another conference tourney victory to show to the committee.

Sticking with my original assumptions above, but looking at different results in the last weekend for OSU (@ Texas), OU (vs Mizzou) and Tech (vs Baylor).

* IF OSU wins out, we finish #4 as long as Baylor loses @Tech.

* IF OSU wins out but Baylor wins @Tech, OSU finishes #5

* IF OSU finishes 1-1 (beats OU and loses to Texas) AND BOTH OU (to Missouri) and Tech (to Baylor) lose their final home games, OSU moves up to #5.

* IF OSU goes 1-1 and EITHER OU (to Missouri) or Tech (to Baylor) lose their final home game, OSU moves up to #6.
