As of today, the math isn’t bad at all for OU. Go 5-4 and they are likely a tourney lock. So that’s 4 losses to play with. Heck 4-5 and a good showing in KC probably gets it done too.
But this isn’t about math. It’s about reality and our eyeballs. It very much like 2 wins might the max from the remaining schedule; with Tech in Norman probably the only game of the 9 they “should” win or will be favored to do so.
I think 0-9 is more plausible than 5-4. And that bums me out.
