OU is not one of the last 8 teams in the dance ..

2 more wins to lock

FWIW, the following "real time NET ranking" site has a Predictor Page that indicates OU might win the next 2 home games.

Agree 100% on the 2 more wins, and I think even if we just beat West Virginia at home it's not impossible we get in (though also not more than a coin flip), especially if we win a game in the B12 tourney.

The teams just aren't out there this year, and conference record isn't a highly regarded criteria, so unless the committee decides to start a new precedent and let the mid-majors with big records but empty resumes in, we are still firmly in the discussion and will look better than most bubble teams, even at a pathetic 6-12.

No change to OU's rankings following the road loss at ISU.

Thanks for sharing, you beat me to it lol. Two more regular season wins is still the magic number to be a lock.

I think one of those has to be WVU. Part of what's keeping us alive is our lack of quad 3 and 4 losses. We need to end the year with zeros there to counteract out conference record which by extension is most of our quad 1 and 2 losses

I just assume that if we get two, one of them will be West Virginia. I'd be stunned if we lose to them but somehow beat both KU and KSU. We are terrible in Manhattan even when we have a great team and KSU is average, so the odds of us winning their and spoiling their senior day are remote.

I will say that I am cheering for West Virginia tonight. Not only would it make our loss to them look slightly less awful, it would hurt TCU, and even though I generally would prefer all the Big 12 bubble teams get in, at this point I am viewing every win by a fellow bubble team as bad news.
