Selection Sunday Open Thread: Big 12 Edition

Photo

Join in the discussion on the committee's selection process of Big 12 schools, or their selection in general. Tune into the selection show at 5:00 p.m. CT on CBS and come here to tell us what you think.

Or before the brackets are announced, give us your idea of who is going to make the field of 64 65 68 (I think that's pretty much a given) and what seed you predict them to land.

Also, we'd like to know how far you think each team will be able to go, and if there are any upset specials.

Pretty much anything you want to discuss. We're here and will give you our insight, and emphatically agree, or politely disagree with your thoughts.

Did Texas do enough to get a 1 seed? WIll CU make the field? Can KU make it to another Final Four? Are Mizzou or K-State colling at the wrong time? Can Baylor sneak in? What say you?

9 would be bad for Missouri

You don’t want to play in that 8/9 game. Colorad would be a very dangerous 12 seed if that were to happen.

As for K-State

I think they could be the team that could screw everyone’s bracket up this year. Could make Elite 8 or lose in 1st round who knows with that team. Kinda feel same way about CU, maybe not Elite 8 but who knows which team you are gonna get. If they get hot they can win vs against anyone.

Agreed

In the two I’ve filled out so far, I have the Cats losing in the first round.

If Texas is a 4 seed and Mizzou's an 11

Then CU has to be shut out, right? I did not see that one coming.

No CU

They have a legit argument for the committee.

CU got hosed

in my opinion. Not sure how A&M is a 7 and UT is a #4 and KSU gets a #5 seed.

It's all a bunch of BS

I know CU lost some games in first half, but they beat a 5-seed 3 times and a four seed once. A&M got hose. UT got hosed. Really the only one who didn’t was K-State. The committee must’ve been going off preseason predictions. It’s a wonder Baylor didn’t make it.

In K-State's defense

isn’t there talk that how a team finishes the season is something the committe looks at and to end year K-State beat KU by double digits and won on the road at Texas along with a win over a ranked at the time Missouri team. Not saying I thought KSU was going to get a #5 seed as I saw Big 12 teams getting seeded lower than they should have I thought KSU was going to maybe get put in the 8/9 game or something.

Got to agree.

No CU is kinda hard to believe as weak as the bubble was.
