current bracketology OU still IN

Texas isn't a surefire win anymore. They have picked it up recently. With OU being so Jekyll and Hyde, no game is a surefire for OU.
 
Updated, Lunardi has us in the play-in game (as an 11-seed), which I think is underseeding us a line. He has Cincy, Rhode Island, Utah State, and East Tenn. State all ahead of us. We have a superior resume to all of those teams and I believe it would bear out that way if today were selection Sunday.

Jerry Palm (CBS) has us as the 10 seed as of now, which is a little more in line with where we are IMO.

the athletic has OU as a 10 also
 
Bracket Research, where you can find the Quadrant rankings and NET rankings, has us as a 9 seed playing Illinois, in Baylor's bracket. Looks like we are safe in their minds:

Last Four In
Xavier
NC State
Stanford
Richmond
First Four Out
Utah State
Arizona State
Virginia
ETSU

This is a much more accurate projection of OU based upon the committee's criteria. I think OU is at least a solid 10 and maybe a 9 as of now. However, in the above final teams, I would have UVA and Arizona State in with NC State and Richmond out. It just goes to show that there are so many bracketology opinions and so many varying projected outcomes.
 
I think if beat either Texas or TCU, we’re a lock regardless of what happens in KC. That said, it would be more fun if we won both and then played for seeding in KC.

If beat both Texas and TCU, we will very likely be the 3 seed in KC.....because Tech has to go to Baylor and closes with KU at home. I don't see them winning either of those games. If the above were to happen, we would be 10-8 and in sole possession of 3rd place, while Tech would be 9-9.

I meant we should play for NCAA tournament seeding in KC.
 
We need to beat texas for 3 reasons.
1. Moves us to a lock and improves our seed
2. It knocks texas further down and likely out of tourney
3. texas sucks.
 
10 seed now on bracket matrix. I think that's where we will stay if we split our last 2 games. If we win both we may move up to the dreaded 8/9 game.
 
If we win our last 2 and maybe a few in the tourney, could we move up to a 7 seed?

As far as what we can control (OU winning), this is how it would look (IMO):
  • Win last two and two in KC - at least a 7 seed, maybe even a 6 if things fall into place.
  • Win last two and one in KC - no worse than an 8, but likely a 7
  • Win last two and none in KC - 8/9 seed
  • Split last two and win two in KC - 7 or 8 seed
  • Split last two and win one in KC - 8 seed
  • Split last two and no win in KC - 9/10 seed
  • Lose last two and win two in KC - 9/10 seed
  • Lose last two and win one in KC - 10 seed
  • Lose out and we are back to sweating, but more than likely in, but certainly not guaranteed.
 
23 - 11 : #6 seed
22 - 12 or 22 - 13 : #7 seed
21 - 12, 21 - 13, 21 - 14, or 20 - 12 : #8/9 seed
20 - 13 : #10 seed
20 - 14 : #11 seed
19 - 13 or 19 - 14 : #11 seed or NIT
18 - 14: NIT
 
1 win in the next 2 OU is a mortal lock no matter what happens in KC

lose 3 in a row and OU is still likely on the good side of the bubble


Hope the take care of home court tomorrow night
