We are 24th. What a turnaround from the day we played Texas.
Final AP Poll
- Thread starter jsb
- Start date
1. We barely get by KSU (when they are without Dean Wade) and they drop 3 spots. We basically own Kansas start to finish and they don't drop. Nice job voters....
2. Whar Iowa? Don't the voters know they killed Illinois and had several shots hit the rim against Michigan?
3. Houston didn't move up or down despite losing to Cincy.

I noticed that too. Kansas almost always seems to be overrated.
Kansas is pretty pedestrian right now. I would be pretty excited if I were the 5 seed in their bracket. Real Big XII title game was Friday evening.

Yeah, that's exactly when it was. Do you mean Friday evening?
Mike DeCourcy of the Sporting News: “Can Kansas turn a Midwest Region in Kansas City into a hometown happening? (For that matter, did the Jayhawks really earn the opportunity?) KU is seeded No. 4, which means the committee has projected the Jayhawks to make it to KC for a potential Sweet 16 game against No. 1 seed North Carolina.
Sprint Center is a building where KU plays an annual ‘home’ game and also appears each year in the Big 12 Tournament. So it’s hard to figure how the Jayhawks would get placed on the 4-line in this region — and how conference regular-season champion Kansas State would be shipped to the West, in a region with a higher-ranked 1-seed.”

The TCU losses were not great. But we got wins between them.
The wheels really fell off at Texas and West Virginia. Those were the losses that made most of us say we didn’t think there would be another win.
Ehhh...you guys had some bad losses.
Plus you wouldn’t be able to compete with our fans in KC
Bet the committee is now invited to Bill's hot tub party at his cabin.
Can’t believe I’m going to defend KU but here goes...
1. What does this have to do with AP poll ranking?
2. KU had a better NET ranking, Q1/Q2 record, S curve ranking, and SOS, pretty much all the criteria the comitttee uses for seeding and placement. At best with KSU winning the conference it’s a wash, not really that egregious If anybody got hosed In the situation it’s UK and UNC who may have to face down KU and or ISU in KC consecutively in the worst case.
You have to admit that the KU team today is not the same team as the season began.
Easy to forget they were bad the entire month of December + the first 3 games of conference play in January.
A poor stretch for that long will take a significant bite out of your metrics.
