At The Half Way Point

[Sweetest OU Girl]

After next weekend's games, January will be gone. At that point, we will be at about the midpoint of the conference season.

At that point I predict the standings will look like this:

Texas ...9-1.... beats Kansas in Austin, wins at K St.
Baylor ..7-2.....beats Tech in Waco, loses at WV
OU........6-3.....beats WV in Norman, wins at I State
OSU .....6-3.....wins at Kansas, beats TCU in Stillwater
W Virg...5-4.....loses at TCU, loses at OU, beats BU in WV
I St ......4-5.....beats TCU in Ames, loses to OU in Ames
K St......4-5.....wins at Tech, loses to Texas in Manhattan
TCU .....4-6.....beats WV in FW, loses at I State, loses at OSU
Tech ....2-8.....loses to KSU in Lubbock, loses at Baylor, beats Kansas in Lubbock
Kans.....0-10....loses to OSU in Lawrence, loses at Texas, loses at Tech

If it reaches that point it is pretty clear how we could end up at least tied for 1st at the end. Baylor & Texas play at Waco. Assume BU wins. Then each has 2 losses. We beat each in Norman and don't lose any others, and suddenly there is a 3 way tie for 1st. Note that I'm not saying it is likely. Just that it is possible without any miracle events.

What is your prediction about the standings at the end of January? Am I close?

I don't see it a lot different. I am pleased that we have the road games against Texas and Baylor behind us. The only remaining road game of concern would be Morgantown. I like us a lot at home.

I would love to see Texas, Baylor, and Oklahoma in a round robin at a neutral site with each time playing its best.

I think Baylor beats WV and hope OU beat ISU in Ames. We should but this OU team scares me. I hope we are beginning to put it together the way I believe we can. Just need a couple of more good games to make me a believer and that is with all starters having decent games and a couple standing out. I believe that is what is going to take for this team to finish the season well w/o another game like we had at Stillwater.
