    What would you consider a "huge collapse"? If Iowa State finishes 3-1 and loses in Rd 1 of the Big 12 tournament, its possible that Baylor jumps up ahead of us and if Alabama or Auburn are ahead of them, Baylor would get Omaha. It'd take a hell of a finish by Baylor, though. I'd say we're...

    I was hypothetically considering Wazzou a conference champion when it all shakes out. Not next year though.

    So if Gonzaga went 25-3 with wins over Kansas, Texas Tech and Baylor and losses to Houston, Baylor and Oklahoma you would choose them over a 25-3 Big 12 team with the same losses, just because the had a tougher OOC schedule?

    It's not bad for the sport for half the season being irrelevant stat padding for playing in a crappy conference? The only thing out of conference SOS is to basically break a tie between two close teams.

    If you like Chicken Parm, that kind of pizza is really good. Ours didn't get super crispy, but it was way better than expected.

    I think there is a REALLY narrow window where Alabama would be ahead of Baylor and Baylor head of Iowa State. I doubt that comes to fruition.

    If Baylor jumps Alabama, we don' thave to worry about them in Omaha.

    MLB: ***2024 Minnesota Twins***

    I didn't mention Lee because he doesn't play OF. But when he comes up and plays 2B, Julien moves to 1B and Alex Kiriloff could be a trade piece. A trade package of Kiriloff, Emmanuel Rodriguez and Marco Raya could get you a hell of a SP if you wanted to go that route.

    MLB: ***2024 Minnesota Twins***

    To argue the other side of it, their payroll is automatically going up a lot next year and adding a high priced guy would really hamper things. I think they need one more SP, but I think they would be better off trading for one. Since the central is so weak, then can probably afford to go into...

    I don't know if the Net changed, but it REALLY hate's Quad 4 games. If 6 of ISU's quad 4 games were Quad 3, we'd be somewhere between #3 and #5.

    Playoff Setup

    Cincinnati did sneak in there that one year, so its possible. I think it'd take an undefeated G5 team who at least played a decent schedule and a 3 loss Big 12 champion in a down year to even think about it. If Washington State ran the table next year, they'd have wins over Texas Tech and...

    Playoff Setup

    Right. Odds are that the Big 12 always gets a bye, but an undefeated team in another conference could jump them, especially if the parity of the Big 12 causes them to eat their own. Would a 10-3 Big 12 conference champ be higher ranked than a 13-0 AAC or MWC champ?

    Might depend on the conference tournament. Records against Q1 and Q2 would be very close (not sure on Q1a). The head to head should trump the fact that the back end of ISU's schedule is loaded with Q4s compared to Kansas (9 to 4). If they matched up in the Big 12 tournament, it would be...

    Playoff Setup

    Get your tin foil hat :) If there was a conspiracy, they would make sure the best SEC/Big10 teams ALWAYS play the teams from the other conferences so that all of the lower teams are eliminated as soon possible. Plus, if there are ever 2 Big 12 teams, its likely that one of them gets a bye.

    Good call on the champions. And obviously the rankings would be different due to the different schedules.
