If Ostate wins out....kinda a pain but oh well. Hope they can win at WV. Gonna be hard.
 
If we can beat KU an TCU beats ISU at home, I am pretty sure that gives us the 2 seed if I remember correctly. I may have to double check on the seeding simulator.
 
Win and we are 2 or 3. Lose and we are likely worse. At this point, it doesn't matter what seed we get, our first game will be a beast in KC. Best case would be 2 vs. OSU.
 
Not if Iowa state wins too

I don't believe that's the case.

Assuming both us and Iowa State win on Saturday, we're still the 2 seed.

Baylor would be tied with WVU as well for the 4/5 spots, but Baylor would get the 4 seed since they swept WVU.

Thus, the tie-breaker between us and ISU would be based on records against Baylor. We split with Baylor, ISU was swept by Baylor, so we'd get the 2 seed.

Just wanted to make that clear.

Correct me if I'm wrong, however.

According to this site: http://bball.notnothing.net/bracket.php the tie breaker would record vs both Baylor and KSU since they shared the same record. Baylor is seeded higher only due to tiebreaker rules.

Yeah again this is the part I got messed up on we get the 2 seed if and only if-

ISU loses and OU wins
1. Kansas (13 - 5)
2. Oklahoma (12 - 6)
3. Baylor (11 - 7) Defeated Iowa State and West Virginia based on round-robin record.
4. Iowa State (11 - 7) Defeated West Virginia and lost to Baylor based on round-robin record.
5. West Virginia (11 - 7) Lost to Baylor and Iowa State based on round-robin record.
6. Oklahoma State (8 - 10) Defeated Texas and Kansas State based on round-robin record.
7. Texas (8 - 10) Defeated Kansas State and lost to Oklahoma State based on round-robin record.
8. Kansas State (8 - 10) Lost to Oklahoma State and Texas based on round-robin record.

OU and ISU win and OSU wins out.

1. Kansas (13 - 5)
2. Oklahoma (12 - 6) Defeated Iowa State based on record against #4 teams.
3. Iowa State (12 - 6) Lost to Oklahoma based on record against #4 teams.
4. Baylor (11 - 7)
5. West Virginia (10 - 8)
6. Oklahoma State (9 - 9)
7. Texas (8 - 10) Defeated Kansas State based on head-to-head record.
8. Kansas State (8 - 10) Lost to Texas based on head-to-head record.


This is what happens if OU and ISU both win and WVU beats OSU
1. Kansas (13 - 5)
2. Iowa State (12 - 6) Defeated Oklahoma based on record against #6 teams.
3. Oklahoma (12 - 6) Lost to Iowa State based on record against #6 teams.
4. Baylor (11 - 7) Defeated West Virginia based on head-to-head record.
5. West Virginia (11 - 7) Lost to Baylor based on head-to-head record.
6. Oklahoma State (8 - 10) Defeated Texas and Kansas State based on round-robin record.
7. Texas (8 - 10) Defeated Kansas State and lost to Oklahoma State based on round-robin record.
8. Kansas State (8 - 10) Lost to Oklahoma State and Texas based on round-robin record.
