Message: [QUOTE="Plebe, post: 3435228, member: 6927"] The Big 12 is a messy conference this year. As [USER=7492]@DefenseBB[/USER] says, at this time only Baylor, TCU and Texas look safe for the NCAA tournament. Baylor: headed for a #1 seed TCU: headed for a #6 or #7 seed Texas: headed for a #7 or #8 seed After that, there are 4 teams that are squarely on the bubble: Oklahoma State (RPI #44) Oklahoma (RPI #45) Iowa State (RPI #49) West Virginia (RPI #56) It's still too early to say which or how many of these teams four will make the tournament. West Virginia still has the road win at Mississippi State and will be in IF they can turn around this awful losing streak they're on. The other 3 teams are so closely bunched that it's hard to differentiate between them. Today's loss to OSU is not really a "bad" loss for Oklahoma in terms of RPI or resume. The other thing to keep in mind when talking about "who's in, who's out" is that it's overly simplistic to focus on any one team or conference in a vacuum. Tournament selection is a comparison game, so ultimately it'll come down to how the resumes of bubble teams across the entire country compare to each other. [/QUOTE]
