I'd think that'd be really tough.
First they'd pretty much have to go undefeated in non-conf..or pretty close.
Then most, I'd think would have to go at least 9-9 in conf or again real close. I just don't see how that is mathematically possible.
That would take some "sweeps" or major upsets.

It looks like Tech and TCU might have a better chance than UT this year.

It's possible for each of the 10 teams individually to get in but not all 10 to be in at the same time.

honestly haven't kept up with those 3. I know ut was ranked but has lost several lately. I saw 1 tcu game and they got handled pretty well.
But I'll be more than happy to throw ut in that last group!:woot
No, it's not. Think back to 1993. Prior to the conference tournament, six Big 8 teams were a lock for the NCAA Tournament in spite of two or three of them finishing 6-8 in the regular season (OU was one of them as well as one of the locks). In the conference tournament, last place Missouri ended up winning it. Since the NCAA was not going to take seven teams, they bumped one of the 6-8 teams, and it was our Sooners. Heck, that team was the last one to win at Allen Fieldhouse.
If the Big XII had 10 qualified teams, they would take at least two of the ones with losing conference records and bump them. Since I don't see the conference setting things on fire to this point, I doubt that more than six end up in the Dance.

Missouri was the 7 that year. Colorado was the 8. And yep, we got bumped. Played a dreadfully awful quarterfinal against Iowa State that sealed our fate.
I believe that the '93 team set the record, at least at the time, as the highest seeded RPI team to miss the field of 64.

This got me curious so a quick google search turned up this website

The little guys got screwed in 2006 & 2007
Thanks for the correction. I knew Colorado was the other team left out. I remember Missouri carried that momentum into conference play next season and went 14-0. We had a high RPI in 1994 as well, but not sure why. I didn't see how we were deserving that year...but we were toast once Missouri won the conference title in 1993.

I've seen Tech play Tech a couple of times this year and they look to be improved, but they haven't really played anyone.....and they don't play anyone of substance remaining on their non-con. They could end up being like TCU a few years back....undefeated in non-con, but still finished last in the conference.
I haven't seen any of TCU, so I can't comment. But I can only think they are getting better under Dixon.
According to Kenpom, there are only three teams below us (OU - 42):
TCU - 46
OSU - 48
Texas - 70
The Big 12 is the #1 conference according to Kenpom.
