Based on the latest and greatest results, KU's odds of winning the Big 12 have inched up slightly. We now have a 40.2% probability of winning at least a tie and a 31.8% probability of winning outright. We have the a P-50 of winning 13 games. Using Dolphin odds but the exact odds are for 12.9 games, It is turning into a 3 team race between KU, West Virginia and Oklahoma with Iowa State becoming a longer shot and Texas moving up. As soon as I have built the probability module of my DPPI I will begin using my probabilities and I think it will lean toward a tighter race between the top 5 with Texas being the 5th and Baylor being very long odds.

I am so embarrassed. I made such a rookie mistake and while it has doggged me that I was missing something I never bothered to chase it down. It hit me in an epiphany and I have fixed the error that has been dogging me. Below are the corrected odds for winning the Big 12. My Solo odds were incorrect and I pretty much knew it but ignored it so I finally decided to figure it out and it was such a rookie mistake. I shall endevor to be more thorough in the future. In a nutshell when the combined odds for all teams to win the conference outright did not add to 100% I added a fudge factor to gross it up assuming that the summed probabilities must sum to 100%. But what I left out was the probability that there is no solo winner. In actuality that probability is quite significant. In fact it is about 24.5% probability currently. So there is a 75.5% chance that 1 team will win outright and there is a 24.5% chance that there will be co-champions. As a totally worthless fact, there is 1.87% probability that there are three or more teams tie for the championship. I hope Dave doesn't kick me off the board for such a egregious error.

Dave better come online with a pardon for you real soon. Methinks I can see the townfolk climbing The Hill with their pitchforks and flaming torches held high and crying "Burn him and stake him! Burn him and stake him!"

You know how it is when it comes to anything related to to KU hoops - perfection is expected, less than that is miserably suffered by the masses.
