Don't you also have a table that shows percentage chance of each seed for each team? Id be curious to see that as Im too lazy to go through and do the match myself.

I'm going with the favorites across the board and picking scenario 18 as most probable.
In addition with just one game each left to play it is crazy that Baylor could still be seeded anywhere from 2nd to 5th.
If Baylor wins their game there is a 3 in 8 chance that ISU and Baylor will be the 2 and 3 seeds (in any order) to meet in the 2/3 semifinal.
ya think?
I am going the pessimistic route with Scenario #26. ISU is going to back into the #3 spot with KU beating OU.
I think 17 or 18 are the likeliest scenarios. Either one of those put us at the 2 seed, which would be very nice.

KU is not likely to win on the road, on OK senior night, without both Alexander and Ellis playing. Thomas and Spangler are going to have a field day inside on offense. And, they won't have to help in the post which will leave OK to guard their outside shooters tightly. Plus, they've already clinched the conference championship and have less to play for. I actually see a 10+ point win for OK.
The ISU game at TCU is the final game of the regular season because the TTU game at Baylor is the only final Big 12 regular season game to be played tonight (Friday) at 8:00 on ESPN2. Don't miss it we need to have a big cheering section for TTU to win.
I believe your scenarios of the possible seedings for ISU are correct except I didn't see mention that ISU could drop to the 4 seed, if ISU loses (can't let that happen), Oklahoma wins, and Baylor wins, doesn't matter if W. Virginia wins or not as ISU beat them 2-0.
Did anyone read about the Alexander problem.....guess it was a problem with an agent so guess he won't be in a Kansas uniform again. There should also be a huge penalty for those agents who tempt college players.

Well, it looks like we are down to 16 possible scenarios with the Baylor comeback win. Can we get an updated version of this spreadsheet, please?
If Iowa State wins:
2 seed if either West Virginia or Kansas wins
3 seed otherwise (if both Oklahoma State and Oklahoma win)
If Iowa State loses:
3 seed if both West Virginia and Kansas win
4 seed otherwise (if either Oklahoma State or Oklahoma wins)
So the only games that matter for ISU tomorrow are Iowa State @ TCU (obviously), Oklahoma State @ West Virginia, and Kansas @ Oklahoma. In all scenarios, WVU and KU wins are best for ISU.

Admittedly, this stuff kinda confuses me. But if we are the 2, we would get the winner of the 7/10 game correct? Won't Texas end up the 7 seed? I don't want to play Texas at all. They are going to be desperate and dangerous.
If you don't want to play Texas root for ksu , both oklahoma schools or against us.
If either Kstate or TCU win we don't play Texas.
If both Oklahoma schools win we don't play Texas.
Likely first round opponent in each scenario:

Alexander, Ellis, and Greene are out for Kansas. Come on WVU! What's that? Staten and Browne are out for WVU? Furk.
Correct. We also want KSU to beat Texas so we don't have to play a very hungry and talented Texas team in our first round.

Just saw this; thank you. Looks like we're playing UT if everything goes well tonight. Should be a tough game though.
