I've got this:

1. Creighton: 14-4
2. Wichita State: 13-5
3. Drake: 11-7
-. Evansville: 11-7
5. Illinois State: 8-10
-. Northern Iowa: 8-10
7. Missouri State: 7-11
.- Southern Illinois: 7-11
9. Indiana State: 5-13
10. Bradley: 4-14

Ties would be resolved by head-to-head records, then final non-conference RPI. At the moment:
Drake 1-Evansville 0
UNI 0-Illinois State 1
Missouri St. 1-SIU 0

recheck your math....total wins must = total losses.

Consider UNI and Illlinois State at 9-9 instead of 8-10. Hopefully that equalizes it.

I really like the 2nd half schedule for UNI. We get to play SIU twice and only have road games against 3 top half teams.

Outside of the Bradley game, we're playing pretty well lately and appear to be improving. The Panthers held a double digit lead in 3 of the 5 losses, including an 11 point lead at Creighton, so this team has the potential to beat anyone.

Also, the CU game is already sold out, which is crucial for us to have a chance at the upset.

I've got this:

1. Creighton: 14-4
2. Wichita State: 13-5
3. Drake: 11-7
-. Evansville: 11-7
5. Illinois State: 8-10
-. Northern Iowa: 8-10
7. Missouri State: 7-11
.- Southern Illinois: 7-11
9. Indiana State: 5-13
10. Bradley: 4-14

Ties would be resolved by head-to-head records, then final non-conference RPI. At the moment:
Drake 1-Evansville 0
UNI 0-Illinois State 1
Missouri St. 1-SIU 0

I hardly ever predict, but I will make an exception.

At most, the Blue Birds will lose one more. If the Blue Birds win out, I will not be surprised.

This brand of birds is talented, well rounded and tough minded. What's not to like?

I've got this:

1. Creighton: 14-4
2. Wichita State: 13-5
3. Drake: 11-7
-. Evansville: 11-7
5. Illinois State: 8-10
-. Northern Iowa: 8-10
7. Missouri State: 7-11
.- Southern Illinois: 7-11
9. Indiana State: 5-13
10. Bradley: 4-14

Ties would be resolved by head-to-head records, then final non-conference RPI. At the moment:
Drake 1-Evansville 0
UNI 0-Illinois State 1
Missouri St. 1-SIU 0

I think this is way off. Based on your numbers, this is how everyone finishes the year:

1. CU 6-3
2. Evansville 5-4
2. Drake 5-4
2. UNI 5-4
2. Ill St 5-4
2. WSU 5-4
7. SIU 4-5
8. Bradley 3-6
8. In St 3-6
10. MSU 2-7

Bradley and SIU are BROKEN. Maybe Indiana St too. UNI, MSU, and Evansville are still playing with purpose. Drake and Ill St are hit and miss.

Yeah, there's no way in the world CU and WSU are losing a combined 7 games from here on out.

Wishing does not make it so. There's about 99% greater possibility that they'll lose a combined 1 game (which I don't think will happen because WSU will trip up somewhere at least once if not more).

7 losses.....
