Discussion

Well, everything this week went pretty much as predicted, so there's not too much to discuss, is there?

Probably the biggest overall change, and one that wasn't that big, was K-State drawing closer to KU in projected record and overall computer numbers. This is an obvious function of our win over No. 1 Texas. The nation finally has clued into the fact that there are three legitimate Top 10 teams in the Big 12.

Missouri suffered a bit during its off week, but should bounce back with a few wins in the next week or so. Iowa State has more to be worried about, however, with a tough stretch beginning today against Kansas.

Oklahoma's starting to be in a world of hurt and Colorado slowly is sinking back to the basement. Meanwhile, Texas Tech got off the schneid and will look to continue its resuscitation today against the aforementioned Sooners.

The less said about Nebraska, the better. Yikes.

GAMER: Now has K-State beating Baylor and Iowa State losing to Oklahoma State.

Pomeroy: Now has Texas losing to Kansas and Missouri, and Baylor beating Oklahoma State in Stillwater.

Sagarin: Now has K-State beating Baylor in Waco and Kansas in Manhattan, and Missouri beating Iowa State in Ames.

 

Self-Evaluation

Now that's more like it. I'd like to take credit for my 5-0 week, but it was pretty easy -- just pick the home teams.

In fact, if things keep up this way, we won't really even need this tool much this year. It's currently projecting the home teams to win more than 90 percent of the time. Hell, I could do that in my sleep -- don't need computers for that.

The theme should continue today, because Kansas appears to be the only team with a decent-or-better chance of winning on the road -- although I wouldn't be surprised to see the Sooners storm into Lubbock and sneak out with a win, because Tech isn't very impressive, IMO.

Cumulative pick record: 17-5 (.773)

 

Key

Results are plugged into this wonderful tool to generate the predicted records and seed order. Winners are predicted by a best-of-three system comprising three statistical prediction models:

OK, this is finally finished

Meant to do it last night after work, but I fell asleep on the couch and there went those plans.

Getting old sucks.

Cats getting pub on Gameday

K-State got some attention on Gameday this morning. They discussed what situations fans should rush the court in. The consensus seemed to be K-State fans should have on Monday.

They also wired Frank in practice, and talked about whether he should tone things down on the sideline. I think Jay Bilas put it best (I can’t believe I just typed that), Frank should be himself, but be aware that his courtside manner is scrutinized.
