Not that they don't deserve to be a top seed regardless, I think Oklahoma State should be automatically seeded as the "host team," as should any other host school going forward. This might even increase bids in the future. Just a thought.
Utah Valley, Cal Baptist, and Wyoming make more sense if you're worried about travel. I say if you're the Big 12, trade them those for UALR. Just for my sanity.
Agreed. Both were too big for their weights last year. But both have great competition at their new weight. It's possible both OR neither are the starter.
