KU (9-3) Wins: v. OK ST, v. TECH, @ KSU / Losses: @ BAY, @ TEX, v. ISU
WVU (9-3) Wins: v. ISU, v. TECH, @ OSU / Losses: @ TEX, v. OU, @BAY
OU (8-4) Wins: @ WV, v. OSU, v. BAY, @ TCU / Losses: @ TECH, @TEX
ISU (7-5) Wins: @ BAY, @ KU, v. KSU, v. OSU, v. TCU / Losses: @ WV
TEX (7-5) Wins: v. KU, v. WV, v. OU, v. BAY / Losses: @ KSU, @ OSU
BAY (7-5) Wins: v. KU, v. WV, @ TCU / Losses: v. ISU, @ OU, @ TEX
In the above scenario, KU, WV, OU and ISU would finish at 12-6 in the Big XII with TEX at 11-7. And yes, no one has to explain how unlikely everything happening exactly like that is. It's a long, long, long shot -- but it's still a shot. And I hope our team plays like there's still a shot.
I will say this -- none of the above outcomes are seen as less likely than 40% to happen, per KenPom.com, with the exception of ISU winning at KU. (27%)
I will also say this -- in the above scenario, you know who gets the #1 seed in KC? Iowa State.
