Oklahoma State could clinch the Big 12 win with an upset at College Station later today.

Its not out of the realm of possibility honestly, depending which Carter shows up.
 
W Virginia vs Miss State is on the SEC network
Texas Tenn is on ESPN2

both at 2pm EST.

Florida Kansas might determine whether the SEC escapes with a tie.
 
Big 12 is 7-2 right now in the challenge! Clearly the big 12 is better than the sec! Just kidding, we all know Baylor is the only great team in the big 12

I know I've been guilty of saying that. Great showing by the Big 12 in the Challenge.
 
24 hours ago I thought OK State had a better chance of upsetting us than the odds that Texas and W Virginia would both win on the road. :confused:

The SEC really stunk it up this weekend. One note; The USC/Baylor game was not part of the SEC/Big 12 Challenge.

It just shows how severely overrated the SEC is.
 
Is UMKC in the Big 12? :rolleyes: They are up 2 on Missou w/ 24 seconds left.

edit--and Kansas is about to beat Florida. This was a really bad weekend for SEC WCBB.
 
Florida is about to lose to Kansas.

Fuel to the fire.

Idk how anyone will be able to boost their RPI in conference play this year.

Well at least your Tigers weren't the only one to stink it up this weekend.

I love how everyone thought the acc and sec was going to handily beat the big 12 and big 10 but they ended up winning the majority of the games! Sadly there’s no pac 12 challenge

I think the PAC-12 Challenge is the PAC-12 regular season.

I had this thought that the Pac-12 should organize a challenge against the best non-p5 teams in the central and western U.S. Imagine a challenge that includes the likes of DePaul, Marquette, Gonzaga, the South Dakota schools, Drake, Missouri State, BYU, etc. It'd probably be a logistical nightmare and perhaps impossible to achieve, but a person can dream.

Per WarrenNolan, SEC by RPI is the seventh best conference, just ahead of long-time D1 sports powerhouse the Ivy League:

Perhaps my gloating will go over better here, with your chart to help me out. It's too bad we scheduled 3 SEC teams and only one B12, damaging our SOS (and RPI), but at least we also scheduled two Big East teams to mitigate the damage. :-)

I think this is extremely hard to do especially since you don't know how good these teams are going to be year in and year out. BYU is having a definite down year, as are the Jackrabbits. The Pac-12 does already schedule pretty well against Gonzaga with Stanford and Washington State on their schedule.

Logistically, it does look pretty daunting. At first glance, getting to Cedar Rapids to play Drake requires a layover from SFO, Seattle, , which makes the travel time about 5 hours and 30 minutes just in transit at the airport. The same would go for getting to Vermillion or Frost Arena to play the South Dakota schools.

It's fascinating when you compare how many schools flew east this season. For example, Oregon went all the way to Syracuse for one game before jettisoning off to the Paradise Jam. Oregon State went to Miami, and is going to Hawai'i next week. UCLA seems to be an outlier in that they skipped Thanksgiving in the tropics to play in Virginia, and they have a road trip to Georgia followed by a game at Indiana. Washington has only left the state of Washington for Puerto Rico and will only leave once more to go to balmy San Diego. Even Stanford hasn't really traveled much this year, with only a sojourn to Canada and Texas in the cards.

It might just be an odd year for travel, but given how strong the Pac-12 is, it'll be interesting to see how scheduling trends in the next few years.
