I'd be thrilled with NIT for this team. It would be a great accomplishment on the back of the FAMU loss and getting shellacked by Iowa at home. A win against Auburn would be huge, we would be their first loss, barring them losing in the <2 weeks before we play them, not gonna count on it, but watching Pearl vs Prohm will be fun.
Off the top of my head, we sweep KSU and OSU, split Texas, get TCU on the flip, and I'll say we get one win in 4 tries vs Texas Tech and WVU. Not beating Baylor or KU, and will compete but fall short in round #2 vs OU. At most that's 7 more wins on the calendar for winter/spring 2020, so I'd say at 15-16 8-10 we'd probably need a win or two in KC to even get us to the NIT. It's not flashy, but I think I'd actually take the result, considering the circumstances. I'd obviously prefer better, but this team is what it is.
Realism reigns!
