I think we get into a bowl game this year. I know I'm getting the cart way ahead of the horse but I believe there are 8 Big 12 bowl tie ins and I'm guessing the Big 12 will get 2 into the BCS. That means 9 bowl games for Big 12 teams.
Based on how things have played out so far this year in the Big 12 I would be on the following teams getting into bowl games:
Missouri
KU
Nebraska
Colorado
OU
Texas
Tech
OSU
Basically everyone but K-State, Baylor, and A&M. That leaves one bowl game for one more Big 12 team. With all of the cupcake schedules these days, I think the days of 6-6 teams making an at-large bowl game are over (see Iowa last year).
I think this weekend's UNLV game could decide if we become bowl eligible this year. I don't see us winning 4 conference games but I could make a case for us winning 3.
Again, I know there are a bunch of ifs but fun to think about.
