SOS and post-season play

[pnkranger]

Right now, we've got a top 10 SOS in almost every calculation out there:

RPI - #5 SOS (17 overall)
BPI - #2 (45 overall)
Sagarin - #2 SOS (43 overall)
Ken Pom - #8 (56 overall <--- which makes me lose some faith in Ken Pom)

All this to say: the NCAA tournament committee has rewarded tough schedules over the years. If we make it to 11 wins in conference (20-10), we should absolutely be dancing, barring an embarrassing first-round loss in the big 12 tournament.

Add to this that we're 7-5 in road/neutral games with a chance to pick up a few more (@Tech, @TCU, @UT), and it's hard to see an 11-5 scenario where we don't make it.

I can't see us missing the tournament with 11 conference wins. With our RPI and SOS, I think we'd have a good shot of getting a decent seed as well. With our RPI and SOS, 10 conference wins would probably get us into the tournament, especially with a Big 12 Tournament win.

I think we finish 11-7 at worst....with a good chance at 12-6. We have an outside shot at 13-5, but everything would have to fall our way for that to happen.
