For all y'all freaking out about RPI right now. The computers love us (and the Big 12). Computer rankings have plenty of say in Tournament selection too. Also, indicative of the strength of our team beyond the strength of schedule we've played.

Sagarin Big 12 Rankings:
West Virginia - 1
Kansas - 6
Baylor - 11
Iowa State - 21
Oklahoma State - 29
Texas Tech - 31
TCU - 41
Kansas State - 43
Oklahoma - 52
Texas - 76


Analysis time, there are clearly 3 tiers here in the Big 12. Tier 1 is the KU-WVU-BU trio. Tier 2 is TTU-OSU-TCU-KSU-ISU and OU and UT are in the bottom rung. Texas Tech is ranked pretty consistently at 29-32 between these. The low variation between multiple outlets leads me to feel pretty confidently in that being our current power ranking. We did this without Ross and Odiase. I feel strongly in saying that we could finish as a top 25 team, with results to date.
