this was a statistical analysis (that has nothing to do with cbs sports). encouraging that we are finally legit from a #'s standpoint. very cool analysis.
Early CBS confrence predictions

Re: Early CBS conference predictions
As an unbiased look, 5th at 10-8 sounds reasonable.
I think ISU will tie for 2nd. KU first (until proven otherwise) —*no real feel yet on how I'd guess the rest of the order.
As that model suggests, I do see a lot of teams between 8 and 11 wins.

lots of homers here it looks like. We lose arguably our 3 best players in White, SC, and Allen...we do gain Lucious, Clyburn and the 4 freshmen, but is that enough to offset White, SC, and Allen? I don't think so.
PG-Lucious
SG-Clyburn
SG-Babb
PF-Ejim
PF-Gibson
Is what I think our lineup will be next year...Kansas will be good...Baylor has arguably the best rebounder and center in the class coming to them (Gathers and Austin).
Oklahoma State and Oklahoma return everyone...Oklahoma will be alot better then people think. Tech will be better, probably 3-4 conference wins. TCU will be better then people think. Kansas St. returns everyone.
I see it ending like this
1) Kansas
2) Baylor
3) Kansas St
4) Oklahoma State
5) Texas
6) Iowa State
7) Oklahoma
8) West Virginia
9) Tech
10) TCU
I think people are underestimating how big a loss Royce will be...I think we get a play-in game appearance, win that, beat a 5 seed and lose in the sweet 16.

I have no problem being 5th, that'll get ya in the tourney every year. Even with a lot of question marks people are starting to come around and give us a little respect. Thanks Fred!

True, those 3 are significant losses. Mid-pack is more realistic outlook.
Lucious and Cylburn are wild-cards: Excitement about what they might add, also uncertainty because we have yet to see. But, good amount of experience & depth returning. This team might come together sooner than 11-12 — if so, I like chances of finishing higher.
Gut feeling OU seems lower-division material but finishes around 4th. It's a Kruger thing.
If you scenario holds, I could see landing a 10 seed and reaching Sweet 16. (I'll take that almost any day over a high conference finish but early exit:smile
How dare there be typos on CF! The nerve of some people.....

Doubtful, but you're apparently the first one who felt it was a big enough deal to post about, so...congratulations?
Look for a great year from Booker, there's a reason he was a top 50 coming out of high school and we saw stretches of this a times this year. He's long, athletic, can stretch the defense, and has low post moves. He will prosper in a more traditional offense.
I also think you are underestimating the guys that are going to be able to play next year and the improvement you will see from the others that played a lot last year.
Wouldn't be surprised if they do. Also, Texas Tech is still going to be really bad. They still don't have the talent to win more than 3 games in the Big 12, imo.

If there's $ involved, may want to check if DistrictClone meant "If TCU wins 3 games (or more)" or "exactly 3 games."
