[QUOTE="Jared7, post: 3018597, member: 7831"] Because it's just speculation, it's hard to project outcomes. In 2000, I think we probably would have lost in the first round because of all the Fran leaving angst and due to the fact that it would have been our first rodeo. 2005 is a bit of an enigma - our only loss was to an unranked SMU early (something that didn't afflict Ohio State in 2014 because of *reasons*) and we won some really clutch games (controversially over BYU and in 2-OT against Utah). I think we might have pulled off a 1st round upset but might not have gone further. 2008 looks difficult (against the Tide), but that was the year we had undefeated Utah on the ropes on the road for .58 minutes, and Utah handily beat them in the Sugar Bowl, so I think we might have gone deep that year. In 2009, form says we would have lost in the semis and that's probably about right (although our only L was to Boise and having to play them (again) was a very deflating experience after thinking we were going to finally get a shot at the "big boys.") We might have gone further then. In 2010, we finished 2nd in the AP, which says we make the finals, where anything could happen - as I said, I like our chances that year. 2011 seems like a first round loss to me. I agree on 2014 - I like our chances to beat both KState and Florida State to make the semis and I like our chances thereafter as well. I think we could have beaten Stanford in 2015, but probably not gone further. (And on edit, I'll add that 2014 would have been a season when the Big 12 had 3 participants; TCU, Baylor and KState).
