This Weeks Rankings

Everyone in the conference is getting votes except Tech and KSU. The Big XII has 7 teams in the top 27. If the teams keep winning through non-conference play it will be good because conference losses won't hurt as much.

Now, there is a Ken Pom ranking that I can agree with.

I think Washington is a good team, but this is a game we should win.

Big 12 had three games tonight. The closest score was OSU winning by 24.

Take notice, the Big 12 is tough.

FWIW, OU (7-2) has jumped up to #30 in today's RPI. Washington (8-0) is at #21 before they host Grambling State tonight.

If the bubble is as weak this year as it was last year, there is a real possibility that the Big 12 will get 8 teams in the NCAA tournament this year.

With TCU and Tech much better, the RPIs of the Big 12 teams is going to incredible by the end of the year.

Could a Big 12 team go 7-11 and get in?

If they had 13 or 14 non conference wins that would put them at 20-21. In years past 20 wins and being in the big 12 got you in the dance so it is highly possible.

I think both OSU and TCU are prime candidates to test that theory this year.

OSU really needs to beat Maryland on Sunday so that they can have at least one marquee non-conference win. (I have little hope that Memphis or Tulsa will do much in the AAC, but who knows... maybe they'll surprise me.)

TCU doesn't really have any chance for a marquee win. Their best hope is for Ole Miss or Miss. St. to surprise and do really well in the SEC.
