*** Official Colorado vs #8 IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

Top 4 in the Big12 really separating themselves at this point. We really got the short stick on the scheduling this year. Tech doesn't have an away game at us. Houston doesn't have an away game at us. Arizona doesn't have a road game at Houston. Of the top 4 we are the only team that has road games against all of the other top 3. I hate the unbalanced schedule.

If we were to finish one game back and then win b12t, I’d consider that clear best team in conference. This is different now. Some other year I’m sure we’ll get some top teams only at Hilton but it wasn’t this year.

Being a higher seed still means we have a better chance at playing a worse team in our first game. I’m pretty sure that still matters…

Tech and Arizona had a home and home? Unless I am going crazy.

Yes, Tech and Arizona played home and away. But Tech didn't have to play away games at all 3 of Houston, Arizona and Iowa State (they didn't play at ISU). Neither did Arizona - no away game at Houston. Neither did Houston - no away game at ISU.

We dropped one spot on kenpom for all the analytics folks out there. Offense stayed and defense dropped a couple spots. Same with Torvik. And if it means anything, tech lost but went up….Metrics help but not everything. Win the damn games.

Oh it matters but it doesn’t mean you’re automatically better or worse than a team one game in front or behind like it used to. Even our 12 team era was unbalanced but this is next level.

Acc has been pretty bad some years with 15 where 2nd or 3rd place was actually best regular season.
