Isn't that a 3 to 4 seed swing from where we were last week?

Now, all we have to do is prove we're worthy by winning our share of the games left on our schedule.

 

[WTSooner]

If we win out, we can get a 1 seed.

Says #10 vs. Colorado in Kansas City now. I'll take that.

 

[Escape Goat]

I think we need 11 wins in conference and should be able to get there.

Current: 2-0

Possible wins:
TT twice
Tcu twice
Wvu at home
Isu at home
Kstate at home
Texas at home
Baylor at home

Iffy:
@ ISU
@ Texas
@ Baylor
KU at home

Probably Ain't Happening:
@ KState
@ OSU
@ KU

I just hope the wheels don't fall off after the Texas game at home. Gonna be a tough stretch. If they can hold on they have a chance to be streaking come tourney time.

Don't count out winning in Stillwater. We match up really well with them. If we play well up there the margin will be much closer than it was in Norman. I like our chances up there better than in Manhattan (tougher place to play against a better team).

This most certainly isn't the case in recent history. OU won 3 of the last 10 in Stillwater and 6 of the last 10 in Manhatten. Historically OU has won about the same percentage at both schools but in the last 25 or so years it isn't even close as that OU has done much better in Manhatten

Since 1985 OU has won 65% of its games in Manhatten. Since 1985 OU has won 32% of its games in Stillwater.

Not talking about 5-10 years ago. Historically, you are right. I don't think this is the case this year. Manhattan will be the tougher place to win for this years team, IMO...

ESPN's latest has OU as a 9 seed playing Colorado:

[BigTime]

KU: 1
KSU: 7
Baylor: 8
OU: 9
OSU: 9
ISU: 11

That would be great for the league to get 6 in...

Manhattan is not a tougher place to play. It hasn't been for a long time. KSU is probably a better team than OSU but I am not absolutely convinced of that yet.

Youre buying into the myth of GI Arena. Since Huggins one season, Brammlage is usually full and loud. GI Arena is overrated and never full anymore. It isnt any tougher environment than LNC and the numbers back it up. They will be fired up for us as usual and sweeping OState will be extremely difficult. Both will be difficult but right now, KState has the better team, which is what really makes it the tougher place to play.
