Also, based on history the conference winner of the 2nd best RPI conference almost always hosts. 

Florida '17 (regional host)

Miss State '16 (regional host)

Louisville '15 (regional host)

OK State '14 (regional host)

Vanderbilt '13 (regional host)

Florida State '12 (regional host)

Virginia '11 (regional host)

Arizona State '10 (regional host)

Florida State '09 (regional host)

Arizona State '08 (regional host)

Texas '07 (regional host)

That's as far back as Warren Nolan goes in terms of conference RPI rankings. If we won the Big 12, we would be the first team in 11 years to win the 2nd best RPI conference and not host.

Top 8 RPI seems like a long shot but if we picked up two more top 50 RPI wins against (OU or Baylor) and then a win against #6 Tech in the Big 12 championship game that's 3 quality wins. 

Seems unlikely but we're sitting at #15 in RPI now.

Top 8 is almost certainly a pipe dream 

It shouldn't be if we win the tournament.  Seriously, how ludicrous would it be for the B12 conference champ and conference tournament champ to not get a top 8 seed?  Come on.

so who is in the regionals? Texas, Tech, Ok St, and ou for sure. maybe bu?
 
holy shit texags think 11 sec teams make the regionals. WTF?


SEC has 11 teams in the current RPI top 50 so on the surface it’s not an unreasonable take.

The non conference SOS of some of them are putrid though.
