I get that but we'd have the conference tourney and the head to head. You're right Houston is legit and should be a 1, but it will be highly debatable which team is better if we beat them tomorrow. Nice conversation to be having right now

The ones are set, there will be no conversation, stop the foolishness.
3 of the Ones are set...The 4th one is a conversation...we're probably not in it though. And that's fine.
What if we beat Houston by 18? Not that we will, but...just sayin.
Winning the regular season title by two games is way more impressive than winning a three-day tournament. And head to head isn't really a criteria, which sometimes is a little strange, but that’s how they’ve done it.
If Colorado defeats Wazzu, that's a potential bid-steal from Pac-12. CU would be a lock and Oregon has a shot for auto-bid.
Ames is closer to Boston than LA. The only way they go west is if they have to balance the bracket in some way, but that is doubtful. Really wish we could jump Marquette.
Help me understand why wewould be a 2 seed in the east and Tennessee would be a 2 seed if the west. Seems like it should be the reverse.
Personally would like any region other than the East. Uconn for a trip to the Final 4 in Boston doesnt sound great.
How about both Houston and Iowa State a 1. With a UNC loss and an ISU win how about rewarding the best conference in the nation? PURDUE, UCONN, HOUSTON AND IOWA STATE
Except many were saying today's Head to Head with Baylor was for the 2 seed, so does it matter or does it not?
They seed based on the s curve. We are the #8 team. However, forecasted #2 is UConn and forecasted #7 is Marquette. They won't put them in the same region, so we'd take that spot and Marquette goes to Detroit in the Midwest
Dont think we jumped from #8 after that win tonight? Id think if we win tomorrow we are at the absolute LEAST #6 on S curve. Likely #5. Give me UNC as our #1 seed in the West.
If Tennessee is ranked above us, they go south because they are closer to Dallas. If we are above Tennessee, we go East because Boston is closer than LA.
That is assuming Marquette is ahead of us. If we beat Houston and Marquette loses to UConn, we would jump them to the Midwest.
I think 1 seed is a real possibility. Even if UNC wins, our resume is neck and neck with theirs. If UNC loses, then our resume is solidly above them.
It wasn’t so much the head to head, although being 2-0 against us wouldn’t hurt. But rather we were basically 8 and 9 on the S-curve and razor thin margins. So likely whoever won was getting the 2. We aren’t even close to Houston on the S-curve.
That's not how they do it. It is distance based. They don't match up 1 vs 8, 2 vs 7 etc.
I've wondered if having jamie on the committee is actually detrimental to us for this reason.
A different Big 12 AD, being able to advocate for ISU, might be better to have in the room
Lunardi has us as a 2 in Omaha playing Sam Houston. 7-10 game would be miss state or Utah state. Don’t hate that
That last night's update, should be different today, Sam Houston Lost and upsets, ect. We should have slide up while others slide down.
