It’s getting to the point in the season where fans can start dreaming up scenarios of how their team can make it to their conference title game. Using the outcome probabilities from my own game model, I have simulated the rest of the Big 12 season 10,000 times.

Here are the current probabilities to make the Big 12 title game:

 

Team Chance to make Title Game
Oklahoma State 71.6%
Texas 70.1%
Oklahoma 40.3%
Kansas State 7.4%
Kansas 4.7%
West Virginia 4.4%
Iowa State 1.4%
Texas Tech 0.02%

 

And here is how the Week 11 Big 12 games affect the title race:

 

Home Team Away Team Swing %
Oklahoma West Virginia 101.9%
TCU Texas 91.0%
UCF Oklahoma State 72.0%
Kansas Texas Tech 19.2%
Kansas State Baylor 16.5%
BYU Iowa State 9.4%
Houston Cincinnati 3.3%

 

What is swing %?

I added up the change in probability of each team in the conference making the title game based on the outcome of each game.

 

And here is each game with teams where the difference is at least 5%:

Oklahoma - West Virginia
Team Oklahoma Win West Virginia Win
Oklahoma 49.3% 0.0%
West Virginia 0.01% 23.9%
Texas 66.4% 86.8%
Kansas State 6.3% 12.4%
TCU - Texas
Team TCU Win Texas Win
Texas 36.0% 81.4%
Oklahoma 61.1% 33.4%
Kansas State 14.4% 5.1%
UCF - Oklahoma State
Team UCF Win Oklahoma State Win
Oklahoma State 57.8% 93.8%
Oklahoma 45.4% 32.0%
Texas 72.9% 65.7%
Kansas State 10.0% 3.2%
Kansas - Texas Tech
Team Kansas Win Texas Tech Win
Kansas 6.7% 0.2%
Oklahoma 38.2% 45.0%
Kansas State - Baylor
Team Kansas State Win Baylor Win
Kansas State 7.6% 0.0%
