Kansas isn't going 17-1, this conference is way too good for that. They already got bailed out by the refs against Okie State in their opener.

I noticed that earlier today, nothing like a four-way 8-10 tie ... I generated one, leaving it in default with one exception: ISU defeats KU at home. Came up with this:
1. Kansas (16 - 2)
2. Texas (11 - 7)
3. TCU (10 - 8)
4. Iowa St (9 - 9) Defeated Kansas St based on winning percentage against #1 teams [Kansas] (1-1).
5. Kansas St (9 - 9) Lost to Iowa St based on winning percentage against #1 teams [Kansas] (0-2).
6. Okla St (8 - 10) With Texas Tech, defeated Baylor based on winning percentage against #3 teams [TCU] (1-1). Defeated Texas Tech based on draw
7. Texas Tech (8 - 10) With Okla St, defeated Baylor based on winning percentage against #3 teams [TCU] (1-1). Lost to Okla St based on draw
8. Baylor (8 - 10) Lost to Okla St and Texas Tech based on winning percentage against #3 teams [TCU] (0-2).
9. W Virginia (7 - 11)
10. Oklahoma (4 - 14)

KU is good but I have a hard time seeing them only losing 1 or 2 games
Torvik projection for the Big 12 tournament right now is...
#1 Kansas
#2 Kansas State
#3 Oklahoma State
#4 Texas
#5 Iowa State
#6 West Virginia
#7 TCU
#8 Baylor
#9 Texas Tech
#10 Oklahoma
ISU would have a bye and take on Texas to have the right to play either KU, Baylor, or TTU.

13-5 wins the league easily this year. I can only see KU getting enough road wins (ref assisted) to get there.
Gotta win by 10 to win by 2.

That scenario with those records opens the door for the 'how did they get such a high seed!?' narrative without people looking at what the teams collectively did prior to January.
I would sign up for 9-9 right now in a heartbeat. It's good to be ahead of schedule for now but we'll lose one we're not supposed to and/or go on a 3 game losing streak at some point. League is just so good the margin for error is razor thin.
I'd sign up for 8-10 too because that locks in a tourney bid
Preseason I had us over/under 5.5 Big 12 wins fwiw

I think they'll be pretty good but not great this year, though a stretch of adversity may test that. I'm sure that they'll find a good coach and have talent like they always do, but I think they're pretty lucky they're heading to the SEC soon.
OSU and OU seem like the most likely teams to drag up the rear and almost certainly finish in the bottom half. Everything else is really dependent on momentum and who can tough out those close games.
1. Kansas (13-5)

Siap, but Gabe really shut Mike Miles down in the one game Miles played in vs us last year. He is very good at shutting smaller opponents down. Miles was visibly frustrated and irritated near the end of that one.
I might be a little too optimistic. But this would be awesome.
I think Iowa State and Baylor are better than Texas Tech and Oklahoma State. Now just have to go out there and prove it.
