If we don't get in with a 10-8 record there will be an investigation.
Be prepared to shite your pants because we are going to probably lose there.
Do people know what "must-win" means?
PS-It won't matter.
Nah you won't find me crapping my pants but plenty will if we lose. The Prohm haters and player bashers will be full force on game day. 9-9 will get us in the tourney. If some don't agree with me that improving our RPI is imperative for a better bracket that's o.k. with me. Number don't lie. If some think a loss doesn't matter that's o.k. as well. After all this is CF.
If ISU finishes the projected 18-12 (10-8 B12) it is forecasted to have an RPI rank of #46.
Projections include losses to KSU, WVU, & TTU and wins against BU, TCU, OK St.
A win against Kansas State is NOT a must-win in regards to making the tournament....however, if you want the make the argument that it is a must win for higher seeding, of course.
p.s. As other have mentioned, over the past few years RPI is becoming less and less an important measurement in the NCAA tourney selection criteria- so forum posters should start de-emphasizing it too. At 10-8 or 9-9 we are fine in conference play. 8-10 would have me quite worried and B12 tourney performance would be very important in that situation.

I would love for ISU to beat BU but I wouldn't bet on it either. 8-10 depending on losses, where, and how much we"re probably out. True the RPI has become less but I still think they go first by numbers in the matrix. Just an opinion but looks like they are using many different mathematical models. I had just hoped, or hope, we are well above #46 by end of season per brackets.

Per my posts you didn't get it. You never got it. You got what you wanted to believe bringing out the "ass" in assumptions.
The tourney starts Wednesday. We are going to be playing 7-10, 8-9 type games with a game against a possible 1 and a game against a probable 4-5. Then back to another 7-10 game.
Need the A game from here on out.

At 9-9 I think we at least finish tied for 4th in that scenario. I just dont see K-State, OSU, or TCU finishing above .500 in the conference which would put us ahead of those teams in the pecking order. There is no way the 4th seed in the conference is getting left out of the NCAA.
My bad. I forget everyone is supposed to submit to you troll stalker demands immediately. Put your big girl panties on dude and get over it.
