i see all your points above, but...

   the pac 10 is really really weak-with the exception of their win over duke and smokin some teams they really should beat up, but is also emblematic of their weak schedule what else do the zags have?

  nevada-one loss to new mexico?? otherwise a really really weak schedule-not much room for error here

kentucky-tough conference with some quality wins-room for a slip, but pretty good team of high school all stars being paid a little less than silvio's $2500, ein'a?

unc-another pretty good team, but now with a tougher class load ;) can lose a couple more

michigan may have peaked at the wrong time.  also time to recover as they usually do

mich st. heard they hired a distant cousin of dr(used very loosely)nassar who has a very unusual way of tending to turned ankles-doc, why am i grabbing my ankles?? :-[

might be able to sneak by a couple of these, but bottom line-take care of business on our end(end of nassar analogies)and just win baby

Gonzaga being in the WCC is just an utter joke. Its complete trash. They win every game by 25 plus, I mean its just silly. Hows that fun for the fans to watch them play trash teams every night. They gotta try to get the hell outta there.

Really thought that conference was going to take a step up when BYU joined but st Mary's has continued to be what they are, BYU took a huge step back and Zags are just too good for either of those two to compete with

Kansas' LeGerald Vick is taking a "personal leave of absence" with no timetable for return. His mother said he's needed at home for a few weeks. With Garrett still nursing a high ankle sprain, things could go from bad to worse in Lawrence. Fortunately for us,  they'd need to fall a ton to not be a Q1 loss

When was the last time the Jayhawks didn't win the Big 8?  Streak may finally end this year.

2004, Self's first year in Lawrence.

They're currently tied for 4th, 1.5 games back of Kansas State. They are 1-6 on the road this season with 4 road games left. Having the streak end in a year where many picked them as the preseason #1 would certainly be a disappointment.

Injuries, ineligibility, FBI drama....not that surprising in my opinion.  They need a good cleansing and I say that as an alum.

Hopefully the committee remembers Marquette played Kansas at full strength, when the Jayhawks were like a #1 seed.

It will be interesting to see how the committee treats Kansas when factoring in Azubuike's injury and Vick's absence.

That is fourteen years then.  I wonder when the next time a team from one of the Big Six conferences goes that many years in a row winning the regular season?  That record may stand for awhile.

Probably until the NCAA finally decides they can no longer turn their back on the blatant cheating Kansas has been doing under Self and they finally have to vacate wins.

K State beats Baylor on the road to move to 8-2, 2 games ahead in the loss column. Looking better and better.

At this point of the season I just don’t think it matters much at all anymore. It would be much more important if we were right on the bubble. I just don’t think Wisconsin, KState, or others falling apart down the stretch of the season drops us from a 3 seed to outside the top 16 teams, or vice versa and raises us up a seed line. It’s all in our own hands. If we lose a couple to the likes of DePaul or Creighton we’re dropping. If we only lose 2 more (including the BET) we very well may jump to a 2 seed.

Looking in how poor they played in December. I'm thrilled Kansas State is doing this well in making Marquette's win look pretty great. I would think they will be ranked come Monday.

When it comes to seeding, we're competing with the likes of Michigan State, UNC, Kansas, Purdue, & Louisville. Those are schools that will have some seriously quality Q1 wins. If we want a 2/3, the better our resume, the more likely we avoid the 1-seed side of the bracket.

Duke has come back from 23 down with 10 to play to 5 down at the under 4.

This looks like karma for the Dwight Buycks game about 8 years too late.
