This can't be right. I've read repeatedly on CF that the Cyclone season is over...
I never miss an opportunity to reference Chernobyl considering...
...the "meltdown" we always have on here after any loss of any kind.
In hindsight, I was relying on underlying "great" to do too much work creating emphasis. What I meant was the regular season is not likely to be a transcendent one as indicated by accomplishments such as a #1 AP ranking, winning the Big 12 regular season, and earning a #1 seed in the NCAA tournament.
But "only" earning a #2 (even if that is "even" with last year) is nothing to be ashamed of given our history. It would only be the fourth such seed in we've achieved, indicating a very strong season even if not a truly superlative one, we're likely to land in our most preferred destination for the first weekend of the tournament assuming no total collapse, and we've got just about a good a chance as anybody in March and April.
So, yes, we're doing great, provided we get right against TCU tomorrow.

Top 4 seed in B12 tourney and 2-3 seed in the dance is what we are shooting for and absolutely attainable.
Up a spot D to 6 and 2 spots to 15 on O after that one KP. Jumped KU and Tech to #8.
So, we are the 7th best team, but get shoved back to a #4 seed in NCAA tourney. Sounds like something that happens to us.
We wouldn’t be a 4 seed if the season ended today
I believe he's talking about being the #4 seed in the Big 12 tournament, not the NCAA.
No, it's for the NCAA tournament.
Sig will have to explain why.
The good thing about Team Rankings --
They send me a nice email every morning after a game with updated projections.
The bad thing about Team Rankings --
Their projections are rated as some of the weakest amid forecasters/bracketologists.
We're probably trending more in the #3 direction right now or #2 if things go really well (and I would define "really well" as something like winning every game but at Houston).
We've got a Q3 loss. It's an eyesore on the team sheet.
Might drop us to a #4 depending on how the rest of the season goes.
The #12/#13 line can be fine sometimes.
I think Torvik projects those out to the end of the season.
(Which is where I saw the Q3 loss.)
I think Torvik might be projecting K-State to slip just below the 75 line before we're done.
Obviously K-State is surging right now... which at least has the small benefit of making that a Q2 loss.
But yeah, that one could go either way depending on how the Purple Kitties play.
