CSD Prime College Basketball Computer Rankings Week 11 – Can Baylor Go Undefeated?

It seems quite likely that Gonzaga will head into Selection Sunday with a zero in the loss column, but its time to start talking about another team that has a shot to accomplish the same feat: the Baylor Bears.
Now, as of today, it is still more likely than not that the Bears will lose a game by sheer attrition if nothing else. Scott Drew’s team still has seven games rated as “Q1” difficulty by the NCAA, not to mention the Big 12 tournament. For comparison, Gonzaga has just one (2/27 @ BYU).
Baylor has already played five Q1 games, though, and they’ve won them all, by an average of 12 points. They rank 2nd in the CSD Prime Computer Rankings, the second highest-ranked Big 12 team sits at 9th, Texas Tech. An undefeated season would almost assuredly secure Baylor the #1 overall seed, as by Selection Sunday their resume will have surpassed that of Gonzaga’s. For now, I would still bet against it happening, but it is no longer a proposition to be scoffed at.
