OSU equivalent of 31 so big 12 has 7 of 10 in top 31. That is nuts
Follow-up admission, regarding my "big picture perspective" post ... I've had plenty of knee-jerk reaction to recent collapses/disappointments. (And I posted a few of those thoughts in various threads).
OSU fans should be dissapointed with such a slow start.
They're a talented team and are absolutely capable of beating all sorts of teams.
And again if we got to play in every other conference, we would have a few actual bottom-dwellers to make our record look better. It's hard to do I get it, but you can't just look at the overall record. It's not a guarantee we would win these, but give me Louisville, Georgia Tech, Nebraska, Minnesota, Georgetown, DePaul, Cal, Oregon State, etc. as our bottom-dwellers. OU is a team that you think is terrible judging by record, and even in my eyes, I don't think they are that good. But then you look at some of the games they have played and the absolute blasting of now #1 Alabama just a couple of weeks ago and you say, "Well ****."
19 seems about right, and if anything, may be penalizing us for losing to great teams while teams beating bad teams pass us up. That's why I don't really care about rankings week to week. The committee will sort out the complete resume.
Yeah they'll sort it out. I guess the teams we've lost to are playing pretty decent now, Tech included.
When NET ranked #46 North Carolina is still an 11 seed and 'in' the tourney on most brackets despite being 0-9 in Q1 games...you have to think while it would be awful to happen...if we lose out we'd still get in. We have four top ten wins and 7 Q1 wins and 0 bad losses.
Top 16 coming on Saturday morning.. If we beat TCU tomorrow, there is a chance we can make that. Lose tomorrow and we have 0.0% chance..
Correction: 6 Q1 wins. Our OU win has now dropped to a Q2 win. They are now 76 in NET.
This also means that we still have a Q3 game to play since dropping to 76 puts our home game with them to Q3.Ah, crud, now we're destined for NIT. Thanks a lot!
Now I'm completely despondent!
Solution: Oklahoma needs to win a few games before that matchup to climb back to Q2!
Porter: "Message received."Now I'm completely despondent!

Oklahoma now 65 - a huge jump after a huge win. OU road win is a Q1b again. Future home game is a Q2b - as of now.
Now for the bad news, OSU just dropped to 32 which puts our home loss to them as a Q2a.

Here we sit almost 3/4 of the way through conference play and no Big 12 team has a losing overall record. This is after Big 12 teams have given each other 65 losses (65 after tonight that is). That has to be unprecedented in any conference.
All 10 Big 12 schools are in the Net top 65. Insanity. For reference, the worst teams from the P6 leagues are:
- Oklahoma 65
- Louisville 330
- Minnesota 243
- California 296
- South Carolina 254
- DePaul 173
That's quite a difference.
(One note - Big East should be Georgetown (228))
Even if we go only to the 10th team in each conference, to make everything “equal,” Big 12 still is better at the bottom end with one exception (Big Ten) and significantly higher than most of the others.
Big Ten: Penn State 61
Big 12: Oklahoma 65
SEC: Vanderbilt 89
ACC: Syracuse 95
Pac-12: Washington 122
Big East: DePaul 173
If you'd like a completely silly stat----
The Big 12 has 10 TOTAL losses on the year outside of Q1.
The SEC has 54, The Big Ten has 41 and the Big East has 46. The ACC and PAC12 are both over 100.
Silly. Just flat silly.

I know the squad hit a rough patch in the middle of the Big 12 season of late, though the win tonight helps against that, but despite some of the doom and gloom, Torvik still projects them as a #3...
These splits are going to be attractive to the committee...

To be fair, how many of those losses were conference games where bottom feeders played other bottom feeders?
The big 12 has just had so few chances to even have losses like these. Almost every game is a quad 1 game.
