Haha that's more or less what I'm thinking. Believe me I want to dream. But just in my mind I'm thinking a 4 and maybe if we go 8-2(loss to ISU and loss in Big 12 title) to finish out then we could land a 3. Now in my heart I'm hoping for 10-0 and a 2!!! Boooomer!!! Haha
Yep. Those top 8 spots get awfully hard to come by this time of year. UK, UVA, Duke, Gonzaga, Wisconsin and Arizona have 6 of the top 8 all but sealed up (barring a shocking collapse). Even if OU finishes 9-0 (pipe dream) or 8-1 (doable, but unlikely), they're still looking at having to surpass the likes of KU, Villanova, and Louisville (among others) for one of those last two spots on the #2 line. As you said, it's not impossible, but the chances are very slim.
2 line will be tough, there are about 8 teams vying for the #1 seed - so the losers get bumped down. 3-5 is our range, can't see anything other than that.

Agreed. I think the next six games will determine where OU will be in that range. I doubt if the Big 12 tournament will even matter. Barring a total collapse in the remaining regular season games, I can't see us getting worse than a 5. At the same time, I think a 3 is the very best we can hope for.
I read bracket matrix almost every day. If you're looking for a good basketball blog with knowledge and quality content, click on the "BaP" link. The writer does a really good job of spelling out where teams reside regarding seeding and the bubble. He is very complimentary of OU and our chances in the tournament.
