I live and work in stillwater, and work for OSU, and that surprised even me! But I also remember a few years back when the coaches voted in a 4th place kid with an 8-9 record for the season-all he did was win Nationals that year, and become a 4 time finalist. Recognize that scenario?
I was definitely NOT trying to say there aren't deserving kids in the other conferences-just the odds are better the 5th place kid in Big XII probably has a better chance, because of competition level. Somewhat like the 3-2-1A state tourney used to be, where the 3rd place out of NW had a better chance to place than the 1st place kid from the other regionals.
