Someone has to win the Big 12 and that team will likely get the #4 spot by default.

And I certainly hope that's us. But reality is it might not be. But seeing other similarly-viewed teams (Iowa St and Indiana) in at large gives me a bit more confidence that we have a real path beyond relying on winning the conference.

That's still obviously the goal and the ideal, but nice to have done well enough to not NEED it
