Too quiet, let's rank the league ...
- Thread starter surly
- Start date
I agree. If KSU wins, ISU will win the title.
One home game for KSU isn't going to decide the conference title. It will be the road games that decide it.
If I'm going right now:
1. K State- they get to prove it with trips to KU, BU, Texas, TCU and WV. That's brutal.
2. Iowa State- not pretty the last 2 games but finding ways to win
3. KU- At least they know De$ousa's status, still KU but how far can Lawson carry them
4. Baylor- playing better than Tech and they beat them, schedule gets tougher
5. Tech- clinging to non conference hype, really need to find some offense
6. Texas- should be higher but Shaka...
7. TCU- No Fisher limits their ceiling, not sold on front court, Dixon's future blurry?
8. OU- wheels are wobblin', Christian James is MIA
9. WV- Huggy one spot higher than anyone wants to see him
10. Okie St- not sure the turnips have any more blood to give

No TxT. Already finished that series 1-1. Wade missed the first. Stokes was coming off an injury in the 6 point loss at Lubbock. Wasn't much of game in Manhattan. All those roadies will be tough as ISU found last night in Norman.
I agree with this. If ISU wins in Manhattan, its ISU title to lose. If KSU wins, it will be another year of KU winning the title.
Cliffnotes: KSU cant beat KU, so they wont win.
ISU went 6-10 in 98-99 good for 9th place in the 12 team league. They then went 13-3 the following year to win the league. Marcus Fizer led the league in scoring both seasons.
In 92-93 Misery finished 7th in the 8 team Big 8 and went 14-0 the following year.
I can't find a year in recent history where a Big 12/8 team did it.
Im not sure it's that simple. Teams like Texas, Oklahoma, and TCU will be fighting for their tournament lives the 2nd half of the season so who they knock off could have just as big of an impact of the top 4 beating up on each other.
Might want to drop them down. Last night looked like WV has given up this year. Huggy has lost them.
So the last time KU was 6-4 after 10 Conference games was 1993-94, and it was the Big 8?
As of today, I would go...
1. KSU
2. ISU
3. Baylor
4. KU
5. Tech
6. Texas
7. TCU
8. OU
9. OSU
10. WVU
Final standings I have:
1. Kansas State (13 - 5) Defeated Kansas and Iowa State based on round-robin record.
2. Kansas (13 - 5) Defeated Iowa State and lost to Kansas State based on round-robin record.
3. Iowa State (13 - 5) Lost to Kansas State and Kansas based on round-robin record.
4. Baylor (12 - 6) Defeated Texas Tech based on record against #7 teams.
5. Texas Tech (12 - 6) Lost to Baylor based on record against #7 teams.
6. Texas (9 - 9)
7. Oklahoma (6 - 12)
8. TCU (5 - 13)
9. Oklahoma State (4 - 14)
10. West Virginia (3 - 15)

Minor edit: ISU was 14-2 in 99-00. Losses at CU and OU. 13-3 in 00-01.
Your final standings are pretty reasonable and seem quite plausible. That said, I'm guessing one of KState, ISU and KU fails to reach 13-5. I also think OU will get another victory or two. I would still guess OU will get to 7-11 or 8-10 in the league.
For us, the KState game in about 10 days is absolutely massive. If we win that on the road, which on paper appears to be our toughest remaining test, we are firmly in the driver's seat. I think K-State is going to lose one of their next two contests and come into that game tied with us at 8-3 atop the conference. I assume we'll take care of TCU at home. Thus, if we can sneak out the victory in Bramlage, we'll be sitting pretty. If that happens (and I think its a toss-up), then I'd revise the predictions for ISU to win the league at 13 - 5 or outright at 14 - 4.
Oh, the Koolaid is flowing this morning...... Fun time to enjoy the ride. Go State!
