    Everyone seems to forget, this team doesn't have problems closing out good teams at home. See KSU, BU. I think we win over KU and OSU. I don't feel comfortable picking ISU in any road game now. I would feel better about WVU if it wasn't their senior night.

    The people saying we need 5 wins are just flat out wrong. There are lots of scenarios where 4 and even some where 3 wins gets us in. Would 4 be a 100% lock, no, but pretty close. And make that very close if we get 2 road wins.
    I can almost guarantee you that if that scenario plays out that ISU will be in and may even get a 10 seed. Our big knock right now is that lack of road wins. h

    While beating KU n losing to WVU would look better on the surface, the RPI is going to be negotiable in a bad way if we don't get the road wins. As far as the big picture and the Resume is concerned we would look much better if we lost to KU and beat WVU on the road. at 4-3 our RPI will easily be high enough to get into the dance. It will be our road woes that keep us out, or fixing it will get us in.

    4-3 Would likely get us back in the range or slightly below where we were before losing to Texas. I'm not even convinced that given the soft bubble this year that 3-4 wouldn't get our RPI high enough. Win the two gimmie's and get a signature ROAD win @ Baylor OR OU and our rusume is high bubble. WV as the 3rd Likely puts us on low bubble. RPI will be better than 50, If not we don't deserve to get in. In my opinion there should be no way that the RPI goes down from here. We aren't losing to the Texas Junior league at home, and The rest we are "supposed ot lose anyway" except maybe WV. So just get one and the RPI won't go down at all. Get 2 more and we move back up.
