Standings update
I haven't posted the conference standings lately. That's mostly because I never pay attention to the standings. Which is really sad 'cause people often ask me about the standings when they see me keeping score at Disch-Falk. And I have to say something like, "I think Kansas is somewhere around the middle but don't really know...sorry." The simple fact is: I just don't care all that much. True confession time, eh? Ah well. Here you go, the current standings:
| School | W | L | T | Pct. |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Texas | 19 | 4 | 0 | .826 |
| Nebraska | 16 | 5 | 0 | .762 |
| Oklahoma | 15 | 6 | 0 | .714 |
| Oklahoma State | 12 | 9 | 0 | .571 |
| Baylor | 10 | 11 | 0 | .476 |
| Missouri | 9 | 12 | 0 | .429 |
| Kansas | 10 | 14 | 0 | .417 |
| Texas Tech | 6 | 13 | 1 | .300 |
| Kansas State | 5 | 15 | 1 | .238 |
| Texas A&M | 4 | 17 | 0 | .190 |
Texas looks to be in fairly good shape as the Big 12 heads into its final two weeks of play. I wish the Horns weren't idle (conference-wise) this week. Missouri's playing at Tech this weekend. I hope they win at least 2 so they won't be quite so hungry next weekend. Heh. And, I'm glad to see that the Huskers are going head-to-head with the Sooners in the final weekend.
Hmmmm...looking at that table does give me a bit of pause. Here are the matchups for the final two weekends of the regular season:
| School | This Week | Next Week |
|---|---|---|
| Texas | (non-conference) | at Missouri |
| Nebraska | at Baylor | Oklahoma |
| Oklahoma | Oklahoma State | at Nebraska |
| Oklahoma State | Oklahoma | Texas Tech |
| Baylor | Nebraska | at Kansas State |
| Missouri | at Texas Tech | Texas |
| Kansas | (non-conference) | Texas A&M |
| Texas Tech | Missouri | at Oklahoma State |
| Kansas State | at Texas A&M | Baylor |
| Texas A&M | Kansas State | at Kansas |
There certainly is a lot of room for movement. The OU-OSU series will be played in Tulsa and Oklahoma City (supposedly neutral ground). Kansas is the only team not traveling at all for the next two weeks. That should help them, you'd think. There's almost zero possibility that Tech and K-State could overtake them since they're playing the Aggies at home that final weekend. You never know, though. That group of three at the bottom is pretty interesting. I wonder who'll make it to the tournament? The bottom two will be staying home. Hmmmm...
This is why I don't ever look at the standings. They can change too much from one week to the next. Ack!
