Missouri, Kansas St, and Nebraska (A) are not better than Texas (B). Texas blew big leads to both Missouri and Nebraska in the second half. They did not show up against Kansas St and still came back down by 20 with 5 minutes left to bring the game to overtime. All of there other losses are to top ranked teams and are by very few points. These teams you mentioned (mizzou, ks st, neb) have inflated their records due to easy non-conference schedules and a very sketchy big XII.
Texas will turn it around they have four easy games left after Oklahoma. Even the Oklahoma game is in Austin and when Texas plays at home they always have a chance. They should pass up Kansas St but Missouri will finish with a better record than us. If Texas gets 20 wins they WILL be in the tournament. The tournament committee is not going to leave out a team with that hard of a schedule and a coach who has been to the sweet 16 the last six out of seven times. Also the Big 12 tournament will have a lot to do with who goes to the tournament from this conference.
