After three conference games, here's a shot at power ranking ...

[twincyties]

That list looks about right. You could argue ISU over Texas and I think Baylor will land above TCU when all is said and done but wouldn’t disagree with it right now.

I think conference is breaking into three tiers at this point:

KU, ISU, Texas, KState
Baylor, TCU
WVU, OU, OSU, and Tech

Crazy thing is that any of those at the “bottom” will give anyone trouble on any night

 

[chuckd4735]

1. Kansas
2. Iowa State
3. Kansas State
4. Texas
5. TCU
6. OU
7. Baylor
8. OSU
9. Tech
10. WVU

Pretty easy for me except 9 and 10.

Hopefully ISU has an 8th conference win by then so everything is just icing.

This Sunday morning upon reflection, I see two not three tiers. Tuesday may move K-State and/or Texas, IDK.

Tier 1: Ku, ISU, TCU, K-State, Texas, Baylor - likely NCAA tournament
Tier 2: WVU, OU, oSu, TxT - likely not

These ranked teams (44%) all lost Saturday:

#5 Tennessee
#9 Arizona
#11 K-State
#14 Iowa State
#16 Miami
#15 Arkansas
#18 Wisconsin
#19 Providence
#20 Missouri
#23 San Diego State
#24 Duke

Now put if the team they lost to was ranked, home or away, by how much. It all plays into rankings.

The only two that lost to ranked teams were kstate and ISU, to #17 TCU and #2 Kansas, both on the road.

Tier 2: WVU, OU, oSu, TxT - likely not

I think the Big 12 is too strong to not get at least 7 teams, unless the top of the conference absolutely dominates the bottom, and that seems unlikely.

I honestly think we are #2, and I'm not sure Texas is #3. If we play on Tuesday like we played today, we blow UT's doors off.

ISU/UT is one of the several razor-thins ... Feels like it's close to even. I wanna pound them Tuesday (although I'd accept a win at the buzzer, if that's what it take)

I'd take a win at the buzzer too, but I give our guys the edge because they are more consistent. Not sure how a team gives up 116 points at home if they're exerting any kind of effort in that one.

Both land grants need to hold serve tomorrow on the home court or this B12 is going to get completely out of hand with a Ku waltz. ISU should certainly handle Texas which is a good shooting lack defense outfit.

​

THOUGHTS: Kansas stays atop the rankings after two more close wins. Despite them getting competition from basically everyone they play, the end result is still the same - wins! That's what matters the most, and the Jayhawks are doing it better than anyone in the league. They have the most Quad One wins AND the most Quad Two wins of anyone in the Big 12.


The next tier goes No. 2 through No. 4. I had some debate about some of this because, according ot the NET, Iowa State should be No. 2. But it's Texas right behind them (one spot) with more Quad One wins, and Kansas State three spots behind the (No. 14) and they're 4-1 in Quad One games, which is better than the Cyclones (4-3).

I was really torn on how to put this group, but just know they are VERY close. I stuck with Kansas State at No. 2 since they did go to Texas and beat the Longhorns. So I feel like they must stay ahead of Texas for now.

A week ago maybe, there's no way you can move K-State above Iowa State after this last week.

We completely controlled TCU on their home court while you guys got destroyed. Then we follow that up with a 30 point win and a last second loss in Lawrence and we are 4th?

Funny. ISU is the clear #2. The rest of you are wannabes.

I don't think we're clear #2 yet. Lets see the game tomorrow night. If we beat Texas like I expect we will, then I'm on board saying we're the clear #2. That said, I would currently put us at #2, followed by Texas then KState. KSU vs TCU was ugly for the purple kitties.

Power rankings are in the moment. This week ISU had a way better week than K State. That’s not even a debate. And if the roles were reversed I would say the same thing that ISU should not be ahead of K State. When K State went into Austin and Waco and won they were my top-ranked team in the Big 12 based on that week. But you can’t have K State number 2 when you got absolutely demolished by TCU, who Iowa State beat on the road and controlled the entire game, as well as absolutely trucking Tech at home and losing basically at the buzzer in Lawrence this week.

 

[BWRhasnoAC]

Surly in here trolling again.

 

[Cyinthenorth]

Entertaining game between Texas and the frogs. Your guy - Hunter - sat on the bench most of the second half. I chuckled.

Earlier, Baylor gets back on track while Huggins wallows in the cellar: 4-18 over the past B12 season plus this. Maybe he and Cal need to hang 'em up, IDK?

Did not realize it had gotten that bad for Huggy. He is bordering on Prohm level performance over that stretch.

He probably should look at hanging it up after this year to protect his health. I saw a little of their game against Oklahoma Saturday and he looked like he was coaching from a sauna.
