I think we HAVE shown that we can get one of these teams, other than TT, our road losses were to teams better than anyone we still play. We've beaten WV who is also > UT, K state and UT. I think we win at least one more road game.
I voted 4-2. I think we win out at home, @ TCU, and steal one of OSU/UT/KSU. Most likely KSU. I do think all 6 of the remaining games are far more winnable than the last 2 road games. To see us go 5-1 or 6-0 would not surprise me too much considering Hoiberg's teams play their best ball at the end of the season.
I don't see a game we can't win on the schedule. I could see us dropping @OSU or @Texas. Maybe OK, but probably not.
4-2 seems likely

3-3. The bubble teams will be looking at us as a must win if they want go dancing. We are going to get their best shot, which will only make us tougher come March.
I went with 5-1, though honestly in the Big 12 this year everything is a crapshoot. Is 5-1 a little optimistic? Of course. But this team is unbelievably talented and we are reaching the point in the season where Hoiberg's teams traditionally start rounding into postseason form. Even in his first year, ISU was clearly much better by the end of the Big 12 season than they were at the beginning of it. I think this team wants it too badly for them to not follow that trend.

I salute you, sir, and I'm jealous that I didn't think of this.
I went with a measly 5-1, but I'd like to change my vote to this.
I'm guessing 3-3 (to not get my hopes too high), and it's a good thing that 4-2 or 5-1 are much more likely than 2-4.

5. Baylor 10-8

7. Texas 9-9
those 7 make the tournament, K State just misses out and no one cares where TCU, Tech fall.

I like that this week is the two toughest games left on the schedule. Could go on quite a streak to end the season with home wins over OU and Baylor, road win @TCU to look good, and 3 other chances to win tough road games.
I am going with 6-0 and tie for 1st in conference.
I have no idea why, based on our road record we should be happy with 4-2 but when I look at games, the only one that concerns me is OSU there. Texas can't score. 65 points wins that game by 6. KSU has Weber and that is only partly intended to be a joke. I think our toughest road game will be at TCU only because there will be so much pressure on that game.
We win out at home although Baylor and the Fighting Ricos will be tough.
I hate setting expectations high but just had to this time.

I'm going 5-1 also. And we kick ourselves very hard as we finish 1 game out of first because of the TT loss.
Still optimistic that we have a chance to go 6-0, but a couple losses should probably be expected given the schedule.
