Message: [QUOTE="ISUnorth, post: 4847150, member: 11911"] This is the first year in some time where the Big 12 teams don't all play each other home and away. Got me thinking about the unbalanced schedule going forward as we hit the one third mark of conference play this week. At 5-0, ISU and KSU are two games up on pre-season favs Baylor and Texas. Both my unheralded Cyclones and ranked KSU are +1 in head-to-head with contenders (I am not counting Sooners as contenders yet). ISU has home/away vs KSU and away at Texas left. ISU also has another game versus WVU. KSU has home/away with ISU and road trips to Waco and Austin. I thought at the beginning of the season that the freshman lead Cyclones got a small break by only playing Baylor and Texas once but was not thinking it would be maybe a title hunt issue (was just thinking of somehow making the March Madness). Baylor has the toughest makeup path. Down 2 and only play KSU once and are done with ISU. Texas has KSU and ISU in Austin. Wildcard could be Sooners at 4-1 but they have only played KSU, and lost so are -1 in addition to being one back in the standings. They have five games left with BU, ISU, Texas and KSU. Three of the five games are at home so that helps them but they haven't played and beaten anyone in league yet so I am still skeptical about them.
