That's 13 times for those of you who didn't bother to count them.
"Things that are inevitable:
death, taxes, and Kansas winning the Big 12."
--Doug Gottlieb
In Round 16, Kansas can end anyone's hope of sharing the crown with
a road win over Texas. Baylor is actually projected to lose in Ames,
which would also end their chances of sharing the title. Five Big 12
teams are safely dancing next month. The conference really ought to
get eight teams into the Dance, but it's hard for the Selection
Committee to pick a team with a 7-11 conference record, especially
one with such a weak non-conference schedule, so Texas Tech really
has no margin for error. Meanwhile, Kansas State and TCU both need
a couple more wins, but they have to play each other. The loser of
that game could well have a bubble burst on them. The Wildcats
absolutely must defeat Oklahoma in Norman, but it is projected to be
a one-possession game. The Horned Frogs must also defeat Oklahoma in
Norman for their season finale, because expecting to beat West Virginia
is expecting a bit much. Which means TCU would also have to beat
Kansas State to get their 8th win, so the path to 8 wins for Kansas
State involves beating Texas Tech, thereby causing the Red Raiders'
bubble to burst. Tech's path to the Dance involves getting road wins
in Stillwater and Manhattan, but they have yet to earn a conference
road win. I just don't see it happening for the Red Raiders, and if
the projected 6-12 record materializes, the committee may not even
waste any time discussing them.

Sagarin has the season lead.

We're now at the 30 road wins level that you would expect for a
90 road game season with an average of one road win in every 3
games. Any road win from now to the end of the season will
increase the statistical anomaly. Being within 2 road wins of
the long-term average won't be unprecedented, but 3 is borderline
unusual, and 4 would raise eyebrows. We've still got 3 rounds to
go, with 3 road wins projected for Round 16, though one of them
isn't at all a sure thing.

Will the newly minted positive trend for Kansas survive the trip to Austin?
Not that it matters; it won't be statistically significant, regardless of the
sign.

After Baylor played Oklahoma at home on Tuesday, the strength of schedule
for the Bears fell by enough for Kansas to take over 3rd place nationally,
but one day later, Kansas played TCU at home, and the result was a slide
to 7th place nationally, though almost a tie with Baylor. Both Baylor and
Kansas are on the road Saturday, but Iowa State is a tougher opponent than
Texas, so the virtual tie will be broken in favor of Baylor, and then West
Virginia comes to Waco next week while Kansas hosts Oklahoma, so Kansas
will not be moving ahead of Baylor in strength of schedule anytime soon.
Meanwhile, Texas went to Morgantown on Monday and is hosting Kansas on
Saturday, which ought to solidify their position with the #3 strength of
schedule. Will TCU crack the Top Ten after hosting West Virginia?
