Shaka is going to put Texas in a real weird spot if they finish as a top 10 team this year. Seemed like he was a no-brainer fire and they were only keeping him around to burn off one more year of his terrible contract and wait for their new arena to open.

PS - Bart Torvik (a young KenPom-ish guy whose site is still free) has Kansas at 11% to win a share of the Big 12 title this year. I'll take the over on that, but we've gotta be underdogs with so many good teams this year.

"A young Kenpom-ish guy whose site is still free" ... Yeah right. Quit gaslighting us and just give us the link to your site, Bart.

Yeah, but if anyone could implode with this loaded team at the end of the season, it's Shakalakadingdong.

Haha, I think I'm probably about KenPom's age.

Here's a link directly to the conference title odds. The home page has his rankings and team pages.

I get Baylor, but he gives us the FIFTH "best" chance to clinch a share of the title this year? That's disrespectful.

I'm going to go way out on a limb and predict that Texas will finish the year nowhere near the top 10.

You all have a lot of faith in Big 12 coaches not blowing it when there is no historical evidence to support that
