A week ago it looked like KU was going to run and hide from the other 9 conference programs but now they are tied for 2nd place with OSU at 3 losses while KSU is in first with 2 losses.

Then, you have OU, Baylor, ISU all with 4 losses.

KSU has road games @KU, @Texas, @Baylor, @osu
KU still has road games @ISU, @Baylor, @osu
OSU has road games @Tech, @WVU, @TCU, @ISU
ISU has road games @Texas, @Baylor, @OU, @WVU
OU has road games @OSU, @Tech, @Texas, @TCU
Baylor has road games @OSU, @OU, @WVU, @Texas

KU has the least number of road games left, but they are looking at 2 more losses at least, and maybe 3. KSU could beat them at AF on Monday, but I doubt it.

OU and OSU have the easiest schedule left. We could still win the conference, we probably won't but we will be in it to the end.
 
I agree that we will be there 'til the very end, Booger. But that two-point loss to K-State at home is still sticking in my craw. Look where we'd be in the conference standings right now if we had pulled that one out.

Baylors already played in Stillwater, but your point is still valid.

I agree with you, however, KSU lost to KU at home, KU lost to OSU at home, Baylor lost to us at home, and ISU lost @Tech. OSU has yet to lose a home game or have a "bad" loss according to my calculations, so they have the advantage here. The other 4 teams all have a bad loss or a home loss so they are evened out, IMO.
