ISU has, by far, the easiest remaining schedule.

And clearly the most momentum. I don't see them losing again, which means CU is playing not to lose. Unfortunatley, that usually isn't a great formula for success.

I've felt this way since we played da Trees - watch out for the Braves when they come to Peoria...will not be an easy win at all. Ask Michigan, Wichita St., and the 11 other victims.
I hope ISU-blue gets a couple road wins for their resume - losing 6 on the road in the Valley will kind of stand out to the selection comittee.

I don't think either CU or ISU-blue has a distinct advantage other than Creighton with a 1-game lead in the standings currently. The way both play at home, they could very well be 9-0 at home. Then it's a matter of only losing 1 road game for Creighton to barely hold on, as I don't think the Sycamores win all 3 of their remaining road games.

Easiest schedule remaining, but unfortunately for them, they seemed to have struggled the most against the easier opponents.

ISU will drop another game or two to a terrible team. No way they run the table.

I dont see any team winning all the games we expect them to, i really believe every team will loose one to a somebody they should easily beat, happens every year including this year...see ISUb and WSU at SIU, and CU at Drake
