How Many Conf Teams to Post Season?

[cygrads]

Looking at the conference standings I'm thinking everyone but TCU has a chance to play in the post season. Seedings are another thing - Big 12 is going to leave ISU, OU, OSU, UT and BU with 4-6 losses each and may hurt the seedings. I know too soon to start thinking about this...

NCAA:
KU
OSU
OU
ISU
UT
BU

NIT:
WVA
KSU (may make NCAA)
TTU

The way K-State's playing, they are a lock. Currently 2nd in the conference and I think they end up somewhere between 2nd and 4th.

 

[MartyFine]

It is probably 7 for the RPI #1 league.

 

[huntt26]

Probably 6, maybe 7, probably not 5, definitely not 4 or 8.

I like to follow TeamRankings to get an idea of where things stand:


Bracketology 2014: NCAA Bracket Projections & Projected Brackets

Right now they have odds to make the tournament at:

Kansas 100%
OSU 100
ISU 98
KSU 70
Baylor 68
OU 66
Texas 40
WVU 8
T Tech 0
TCU 0

That's an expected mean of 6.2 teams in the tournament

We are only 5 games into an 18 game conference slate. I'm not completely sold on KSU that is the only reason I put them as an NIT with a possibility of making the NCAA.

I would say KU, isu, ksu, OSU, OU, BU, and if UT goes on a tear, them too. Will be a good year for the B12

I would guess we will have more than 4-6 losses. I'm thinking 7-9. Still make the tournament easy, but 4-6 seems awful hopeful considering we already have 3 and the games aren't getting easier.

There just aren't enough wins in the B12 for a scenario where those teams all end up with 4-6 losses.

In order to get 7, the B12 probably needs all those teams below Kansas to cluster around 9-9 and 10-8.

I think this is what happens and ISU is in that group.

6 at the very maximum. No way in hell there will be 7 teams in the conference making the big dance!

 

[ojoe2317]

I really do think it could be 7. Look at Baylor - the win over Kentucky, and they look to be in the bottom half of the conference right now. As long as no one loses bad games to WVU, Tech, or TCU, the OOC schedule could carry the rest of the conference into the NCAAs.
