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.

Agrees with our seeding. Right where we're supposed to be. Ranked.

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.”

or TCU... or WV....

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.

It looks like the final NET has TTU 10, Kansas 20, us 21, and K-State 24.

How long until Surly posts a quote about how Iowa State doesn't belong in the KC region too?
