With UT and OU missing the cut. Anyone disagree?
Sure, there is a lot of bball to play, and the other 8 teams will likely need to win, at least, 8 of their games to get in, but I can't see any of the teams being left out if they go at least 8-10. Of course, winning 8 games is going to be anything but easy.
I guess I am not predicting 8 bids...just pointing out that 8 teams have done enough in the non-conference to get in without needing to play catch up in the conference portion of the season. Usually, we have 2-4 teams that look like they will only get in if they manage to win 10 or more conference games. I guess OU and Texas do fall into that group this season. They might need to win 11 or 12 due to how badly they did in the non-con.
