From what I am seeing a first round loss to Baylor puts us at a 8 seed and a win or two puts us at a 7 seed. I dont see us going any higher or lower than a 7/8

Chris Hassel had a funny tweet saying somethin like "Iowa/ISU as a play-in game. Winner goes home loser has to keep playing!" I thought it was pretty funny
Disregard what I said. The bubble is probably the worst I’ve ever seen so we might end up as a 6 seed. I just went back to see how truly awful the bubble was.
In the scenario we lose to Baylor...
For us to drop to an 8 I think the teams that could pass us up with good conference tourney performances are VCU (NET #31), UCF (NET #28) and probably Baylor (NET #36) if they make the Big 12 championship game.
Outside of that it'd take something crazy like Syracuse or Ole Miss beating multiple 1/2 seed type teams to win their conference tournament.

That is funny. But I think we have some hope after that TT game. Yes we lost, but that's a great team and we had some chances. We can get hot. Iowa just lost to the team many thought was the worst right now due to all of their injuries. It's much better (as usual) to be a Cyclone fan than a hok fan right now. Neither have been super great at the past several games.
4 Q1 Road wins. If the committee is valuing that then that can definitely happen. Seems like we are always one seed ahead of where the CF bracket geniuses think we will be.
I think we are a 6 with an outside shot at a 5. Worst case, a 7.
We're going to rip through the Big 12 Tournament and somehow snag a 1 seed. But then we get upset in the first round becoming the first school to lose as a 1, 2, and 3 seed in the opening round. If we're going full doom and gloom let's at least shoot for the stars.
This. Best case a 5 seed, worst case a 7. Probably a 6 if we beat Baylor and lose next round
Most have us as a 7. I think that’s definitely where we will be if we lose to Baylor. Best case will be a 6.
I'm not sure what thread is the official NCAA seeding. Lundardi moved Michigan up to a 2 in Des Moines (Was a 3) and has the 7 seed in that pod Iowa State. This is now the 2nd major projection having ISU as a 7 in Des Moines. USA Today has that as well. I'd rather see them win the next two and move up a spot or 2, but there seems to be a chance they land in Des Moines as a 7 with a potential Michigan/Michagan St. matchup looming

A 6-seed and "mistakenly" placed in Des Moines would be outstanding IMO.
Seems like the bubble has been horrific since they went to 68 teams. I wish they would go back to 64. Will not happen, but wish it would.
UCF losing helps, top 8 seed as of today. Got whipped by Memphis.
VCU, another projected 8 seed, loses to Rhode Island.
