Good News for OU's 3 seed hopes

I doubt you'd find a single non-OU fan that would agree with this.

Actually it is the other way around, Seth Davis and Jeff Goodman like us to make a final four run if Kentucky is not in our regional.
 
March is all about match-ups, "predictions" to make the Final Four are pointless without having a bracket to look over. I would argue someone like Arizona or North Carolina's "A" game is better than OU's, which I think is somewhere in the top 12-15. You have to factor in everyone else's best performance as well. With that said, OU is a perennial Sweet 16 potential team, their best looks really good, but have tendency to sleep walk through a lot of games.

As for Texas, them making or missing the tournament is not going to have an effect on OU's S-curve position. Any victory @ISU, vs. KU or in the Big XII tournament trumps UT's demise.
 
It is kind of like bowling and golf. No one is really as good as they are on the days of their best efforts or really as bad as their bad days. One is really only as good as they are on "average".
 
Per ESPN, Texas and Texas A&M are 9 seeds. It would be interesting to see the two schools matched up in the first round (I'm old school, and still think the round of 64 should be the 1st round) 8/9 game. It wouldn't be the same as seeing them match up in football, but would make for some nice story lines.
