What needs to be done on the road to win a Big 12 championship?

Win out at home and get 1 on the road and we might have a shot. I voted Texas though because I think they will win the conference.
Yeah I think at Baylor and at Kstate are hornet nest type games. Others are more winnable.
Having said that TX is hot so I'm not confident there. The interim coach they have has really been impressive.
I voted Texas because they need another L and it would ensure we have tie breaker over them with two W's as opposed to a split.
If ISU wins two of the four remaining road games as well as their remaining home games, that would put them at 13-5 in the Big 12 and likely give them a share of the title. I am not sure it matters which two road games they win. However, a win at Texas would give the Longhorns another loss, making it easier for ISU to catch them.
I believe that they need to go 6-2 in the remaining conference schedule to finish at the top of the Big 12. I don’t care which six they win, but it we be great if they win out at home and sweeping Texas would probably really help chances.
Winning out at home is 11-7. Probably not gonna get it done. 12-6 might. I think 13-5 will for sure
So just win 2 of the road games left. Dont care who it's agaisnt just get it done.
We split with KU already. Can sweep TCU, Baylor, Kansas State, and Texas as well. Our shots at a title move way up higher should we beat any of them. Also, we should cheer for teams to sweep each other as well for tiebreaker reasons. We cant go worse than 500 in that situation

Sweeping Texas would obviously be huge, but I still think there’s a team lurking that nobody is talking about and it’s the team thought to be the favorite going into the year: Baylor. That team is playing serious bball right now and they are healthy. They have wins on the road at WVU, Tech and OU to offset their early struggles. Just missed out on a big win in Austin last week, which would have been big for them.
I assume Miles is still out for TCU when we play them? That should give us a good shot although they seem to play well in Ames the last few years. We should also sweep Oklahoma.
Any of the other 3 would be huge road wins and give us the tiebreaker over those teams.
Baylor is solid and will be in the mix. However, they also have four losses with road trips to Lawrence and Manhattan remaining. My guess is they will have at least two more losses, putting them at 12-6 at the best.
Texas only has two losses right now. Looking at their remaining eight games, it’s hard to envision them going 4-4. That’s why I don’t think 12-6 will be good enough to win the Big 12 this year.
I have a hard time believing that Texas loses more than 3 games in their remaining schedule based on their recent play. I think that there is a strong probability that ISU needs to beat Texas to finish at the top, besides 5 other wins
Might need to root for Kansas against Texas
Baylor could lose in Lawrence and Manhattan, but the way they are playing it wouldn’t be out of the question for them to win both. KU has not been great at home this year despite their record. They have survived multiple times in conference play and got destroyed by TCU. Texas just won in Manhattan and Baylor 100% has the guard play to go in there and win.
No might. We can’t have Texas win in Lawrence. That will make catching them very difficult.
