TCU earns 1st B12 road game in Ames

TCU's win over ISU was big for KU. But equally big is Baylor needs to beat K-State. I have uodated the DPPI through all the early games of the day. KU moves up from 15 to 13 which is still tops in the Big 12. But the loss to West Virginia is killing us in the probability standing. We gained 1/10th of a game on K-State and passed Iowa St. We are now in 2nd but just barely and still 8/10ths of a game behind KSU. Baylor is a 59% favorite to win. If they do, we will gain at least 6/10ths of a game on K-State and possibly more if Baylor blows them out. That would put us at a mere 2/10ths of a game behind and clearly change the probabilities. Right now we have a 28% probability of at least a shared title. Not good enough. Go Baylor!! BTW, the TCU win really solidified their NCAA prospects and took them way off the bubble. They are now ranked 37th. OU could sure use a win at home against Texas Tech today. They are now in 8th in the Big 12 and ranked 40th overall.

Kansas -- 13th
Iowa St. -- 15th
Texas Tech -- 16th
Kansas St. -- 26th
Texas -- 27th
Baylor -- 30th
TCU -- 37th
Oklahoma -- 40th
Oklahoma St. -- 96th
West Virginia -- 120th

Kansas is ranked 2nd in offense in the Big 12 (Iowa St. is 1st) and 7th in defense.
