    My official prediction is 6-6.  They have some wild volatility as the best teams on their schedule all play in Boulder. I don’t see a “they definitely can’t win this game” game. I also don’t see a “they’re for sure winning this game” game. 
     

    Probable Ls: KState, Okie State, Utah

    Tossup: Nebraska, UCF, Tech, Arizona, Kansas (it’s late in the year - will Daniels be healthy?  If KU has their guys I’d move to probable L). 

    Probable Ws: NDSU, CSU, Baylor, Cincy

     

    Now if CU swoons midseason and the wheels come off the locker room, then 3-9 or something is in play. But that feels like a worst case. I just think their ceiling is higher than 4-8. 

    Yeah part of the problem is the way their schedule sets up.

    Yes they get to play what most consider the top 3 teams in the Big 12 (K-State, Utah, OSU) all at home, but with the caveat that both Utah and OSU are late in the year... 2 of their last 3 games.

    I think there's a decent chance they are floundering and wouldn't be surprised if Hunter and Sanders opt out if they are something like 2-6 after their game with Tech in Lubbock on Nov. 9. Then they have to finish with Utah, @ Kansas, Oklahoma State.  Those three games could get real ugly if they have given up at that point...

    Probably so. Vegas only sees 5.5 wins with 2 likely top 10 draft picks. Then it goes down next year.

    Looking at their schedule, I would hammer the under:

    • vs. NDSU - should probably win but could very easily lose
    • @ Nebraska - I think Rhuel in year 2 handles them easily
    • @ Colorado State - should have lost to them at home last year. Very easily could lose
    • vs. Baylor - will Baylor have a bounce-back year? This looks like their best/easiest chance for a conference win on paper
    • @ UCF - they will get blasted
    • vs. K-State - loss
    • @ Arizona - loss
    • vs. Cincy - best chance outside of Baylor for a conference win
    • @ Texas Tech - probably a loss
    • vs. Utah - loss
    • @ KU - loss
    • vs. OSU - loss

    Honestly I think the absolute best case for them at this point is 4-8.  Wins vs. NDSU and CSU in non-conference and then 2 conference wins from Baylor, Cincy and maybe Texas Tech.

    The train wreck version is probably lose all three non-conference games and win maybe 1 Big 12 game.

    I think 3-9 is probably about the most likely outcome.

    I know that the coaches poll is just a starting point, and that teams will rise and fall through the season, but at the start, here are the B12 games between two ranked teams:

    Utah at OSU

    Arizona at Utah

    OSU at KSU (same day as Ari at Utah)

    KU at KSU

    WVU scheduled PSU and UH scheduled OU, but none of the preseason ranked B12 teams scheduled ranked teams for OOC. 

    Unless, of course, you count our dumb-asses for scheduling the #1 team in FCS.

    ISU won the Big 12 round robin outright in 2020.  We just don’t get any recognition for it (much like TCU in 2022).

    The CCG for the 10 team Big 12 was an arbitrary cash grab, and it’s absolute horse shit that they never recognized regular season champs (like in hoops).

    LOL tell me about it.

    We would have two more Big 12 title without the stupid pointless championship game.

    Oral Roberts is not good at all this year but they just won the Summit League tourney and I know Oklahoma State will probably be having nightmares about that 4 seed matchup

    Yeah really looking forward to DBU being the 2 and ORU being the 4 in our regional. 

    Then we’ll probably get someone like LSU as the 2 or some shit.

    OKC and the Tulsa year rained out a bunch. May is just nonstop rain in Oklahoma and Texas. I don't like the size of the stadium and the lack of fans and I seriously hate the echo of the metal bat clink, but at least it gets played and completed on time. Well, this year every game still seems delayed, OSU finished past midnight, but not because of weather. If that storm had been a factor, we'd still be playing day 2 games probably. 

    I mean... I feel like it rains plenty in Alabama, too, but they somehow play outdoors there.  The Big 8/12 tournament was in OKC for decades and they always managed to get the games in.

    I just dislike indoor baseball in general, and in particular playing the Big 12 in Globe Life just sucks all of the fun atmosphere of the tournament you get being outdoors in a smaller stadium completely away. 

    I'd trade the much better atmosphere and playing outside for the possibility of a few rain delays in a heartbeat.

    Every conference has nice outdoor size appropriate stadiums in good settings for their tournament except for the Big XII.  

    We have plenty of good options available (Frisco, OKC, Tulsa) but we choose to play in a soulless MLB dome for…reasons…?

    This tournament would be much better off in Frisco.  

    Or Tulsa or OKC.... really anywhere that has a nice minor league ballpark.

    I hate that it's in this sterile boring ass domed stadium.  The atmosphere is complete trash.

    Just saw the stat that OU is 3-6 against the other 3 teams in the top 4 of the conference and 15-0 against everyone else.

    That's pretty wild.

    Also looks like a recipe for an early Big 12 tournament and/or regional exit.

    Obliviously it's a good thing to beat up on the lower end of the conference, but a 15-0 record against the rest is absurd and has more than a little luck involved. And this is baseball - that luck will run out.

    I haven't watched them play at all, but a purely statistical evaluation leads me to the conclusion that the Pokes have some real pitchers on the roster.

    Yeah the pitching has been pretty good.

    It saved us early in the year when we were squeaking out games scoring 3 and 4 runs. The bats have been better in the past month or so.
