I'm still waiting for the other shoe to drop, but it looks as though we might run the table in the Big 12 this year.
Turning Bramledge into the Hawktagon pretty much killed the only legitimate hope a team had of taking us down. We could still lose a conference game, but there is zero reason for any team to believe they can beat us.

I wouldn't expect a perfect conference season. OSU or ISU could beat KU if they play at a good game at home. They've done it before with worse teams (and even better KU ones). OU could do the same if KU gets lazy (though they might have to change from the awful game plan they had today). And Baylor...meh, the talent is there but those guys can't ever get it together even in Waco.
And this is all assuming KU brings their best effort every game...they haven't done that this season. They can't afford to ever do that on the road or they may lose (like they nearly did at Texas). In the end, it's college basketball and shit just happens.
