10-seed in current bracketology

win 1 and we are out unless we go on a run in big 12 tournament.

We need 3 wins including the big 12 tournament.

8-10 is a toss-up to get in. no way 7-11 gets a team in no matter how good we looked prior to Jan 15
 
This is just Lunardi's projection. He is the most famous bracket guy because he is with ESPN, but he usually isn't the most accurate. The consensus among all the sites is that OU is an 8 -- the top 8 seed at that. Two more wins total and they are fine, but winning only one would definitely make for a very nervous wait. Of course, it is beyond belief we are even having to think about this given where the team was 5 weeks ago.

Agreed. 2 wins should do it. Three wins could move our seed up higher. One win and most certainly on the bubble (outside looking in). Of course, only talking about regular season here. The conference tourney won't make much of a difference unless OU wins some games before then. Just my opinion. :)

Committee doesn't look at conference record, just like they don't look at what place you are in the conference standings. It's why OU has consistently stayed ahead of teams like TCU and OSU even though those teams have caught or passed us in the conference standings. They also don't divide the season into segments of time, so the reference to January 15 (or any other date) isn't a factor. They specifically eliminated the "last 10 games" from their criteria a few years ago.

I keep hearing stuff like this... problem is, it's never consistent. Some people say the committee doesn't look at your conference record, or your performance over the last 2 months, or injuries on your team, etc.

I think that's BS... those are what they should be measuring, and likely are measuring. I find it more likely that they "consider" November/December wins and measure how you've been playing since January 1st.

If you combined all the stuff people claim the committee doesn't look at, I am not sure what they do look at.

The committee itself actually makes it pretty clear what they do/don't consider. Now, whether you think they are telling the truth is another matter, but they put everything out there publicly. I never worry much about what media members say because many of them are speculating. But I think OU being a four seed in the release two weeks ago shows that the committee was true to its word, at least when it came to OU. Obviously we've kept losing since then and have clearly dropped further, but if they were emphasizing conference record and recent games, we would have been way lower than a four back then.
 
2 wins the rest of the way gets us in for sure. If we only get 1 win the rest of the way...we're probably on the outside looking in.

You simply can't discount the quality wins we do have...even though they may seem like a LONG time ago!!

Yes.

3 wins including the tournament. Book it. Only 2 and we are out.

If we go 2-1 in next 3 but then drop the Big 12 Tourny game (to OSU, ISU, or UT) we are not getting into the tournament.


If we go 1-2 in next 3 we will need 2 big 12 tourny wins to make up for it.

3 more wins.

if we finish with 8-10 conference record and 18-13 overall after losing round 1 of big 12 - we will not get in.

kindly disagree...

now, I def have no reservations saying we won't win 2 of the 3 reg games left..but if we do and go into the tourney 8-10, 18-12 we are in. Even losing game 1.

Thought I saw our RPI is around 30something.

I just don't buy it.

If we lose big 12 tourny game vs ISU, OSU, or UT. That isn't a good loss.

I think 3 more wins is the #. Anything less in reg season + tourny and we are in trouble.

Basically I'm saying that 3-2 is needed. I don't think going .500 worse (2-2 or worst) with our projected schedule is going to cut it.

Book it huh?? OK.....Hahahaha. Well that’s just your opinion so I’d rather not “book it”!
 
Until/Unless we start playing better it really doesn’t matter. Every game is a tournament game now.
