With Colorado and Texas winning tonight, several seeds have been determined. BU is the 2 seed and CU is the 3 seed. The last bye is up between Kansas State and Texas. If KSU wins, they get the 4th seed, otherwise it goes to Texas.

Iowa State will be playing on Tuesday. Nebraska is the 11th seed.

Remaining seeds to be determined are 4,5,6,7,8,9,10

I hope ISU gets the 6 seed and plays Nebraska instead of Kansas. You hate to play a team with a chip on their shoulder, and KU will have nothing to lose. ISU seems to struggle with Kansas' style of play. Hopefully the ISU faithful make it to KC on Tuesday!

I may have missed something, but I think KSU has the fourth seed by virtue of the head to head tie breaker even if they lose. I think both teams would have a 10-6 record if KSU loses, and didn't KSU beat UT? Please correct me if I am wrong.

If Baylor wins, yes, what you say is true. But if ISU beats Baylor, ISU would be in a tie for 4th along with KSU and UT. ISU would beat KSU in a tiebreaker which has to be broken first before considering UT. Then UT beats ISU in a tiebreaker so UT gets 4th, ISU 5th, and KSU 6th in that instance. The tiebreaker always places a premium on how a team fares in its own division.

Thanks for the explanation.
