Our next three opponents were all 6-2 in the conference heading into Round 9,
so these three games will go a long way toward determining the conference
championship.  Fortunately, two of them are at home.  But after the third,
the next game is on the road against a team that just destroyed the #2 ranked
team in all of Division I.  Welcome to the Big 12.

The good news is that every prognosticator is picking the Jayhawks.  Real Time,
with its enormous home court advantage, is the most optimistic, giving Kansas
a 15 point margin.  That would be comfortable.  Dunkel is next with 10.5 points.
The most pessimistic is the common opponents comparison, which checks in at just
2 points.  The trend analysis says 3 points.  The average of 18 predictions is
5.5 points, with a scatter of 3.3 points.

Kansas State has played above expectation for four consecutive games.  It's
time for the law of averages to catch up with them, as it did for Kentucky.
Kansas ended a five-game below-expectation streak with the win in Lexington,
but it was costly, in that we lost Ejiofor for at least a few games, and
McCullar will probably be gimpy at best (but hey, it worked out for Mahomes).
I've not read anything about his availability for the game.

Interesting that none of the computer rankings have Kansas State nearly as
high as the AP and Coaches polls, in which the Wildcats are actually ranked
higher than the Jayhawks as of this past Monday (Week 13).

Rock Chalk!
