Noone in the Big 12 is that scary. Kansas is default top dogs and are pretty beatable.

Solid win. This is a good BYU team that lights up teams who man for man aren't bigger and more talented. They obviously couldn't beat ND and FSU who are pretty similar overall to the Unlv and Cinci teams ISU lost to last week but have blown out everyone else they played. For example I believe this BYU team would have gone into Carver today and embarrassed the Hoks by 20 points.

If this team doesn't lose again until conference play an at large bid should be 100% expected by everyone involved in ISU hoops. As long as this team has the correct mentality to protect their home court in conference play and only drop one or two conference home games (I think this team should defend Hilton well) they'll go into the Big 12 tournament with only 5-8 losses and a bid secured.

The second best Big 12 team after KU is either WVA (underwhelming so far) Baylor, KSU, Ok St, or ISU. TT, UT, TCU, OU strait up suck. There are no games on the schedule that I would chalk up as automatic losses.

Why would you say WVU might be the second best team but OU sucks when OU already beat WVU this season?

The Big 12 is pretty weak this year. UT, Tech, and TCU are all awful. Baylor's win over a mediocre UK team and oSu's win over a disappointing NC State are the only really impressive wins the conference has so far. It would be pretty disappointing not to finish in the top half with how bad the conference looks right now.
