Why not re-rank today 1/19 ...

I'm good with that as my ranking criteria is how I see this finishing based both on what they've done to this point in time and the eye test. So, I see Ku winning it as well.

It's a story as old as time. KU will win nearly every game they are supposed to and split the home and home with the top tier(s). The remaining teams will have those same splits and then lose a game or two that they really shouldn't. The rest of the conference eats itself alive and KU slides thru by having fewer hiccups.

Self calling and being awarded a timeout right before Wilson hit that three was one of the funnier things I've see in awhile.

KU wins the league so often because they don't stumble at home. Everybody else does. A bad year for KU is 8-1 at home.

True- 16 home losses in 19 seasons. At one point, ISU was the only school to beat him twice in AFH.

Pretty good rankings. I would probably switch KU/ISU right now. Iowa State has one of the more mature teams in the country and they are playing like it. I don't think they lose at home this year.

Even when Kansas does drop one at home, many times in recent years, it wins the return game on the road vs. that team.

K-State has been generally uncompetitive at AFH sans the year Svi went walking to victory.

One of the most egregious non calls ever imo

I like to look at tiers:

Tier 1 - KU, KSU, ISU
Tier 2 - TCU, Texas, Baylor
Tier 3 -OSU, WVU, OU
Tier 42 - TTech

We have been here before, 2 teams with a decent chance to unseat Kansas. Not sure anyone in Tier 2 does especially after TCU lost to WVU. Your purple kittens have a small step on KU and ISU with their win at home over Boobirds. Who will hold home serve and win 5 or 6 on road? Still betting on Kansas but lets check in after next week.

Injuries and how well teams hold up with the night in, night out physicality of play is going to start to become more of a factor.

I keep hearing people hype TCU, but Baylor and Texas both feel like they're sleeping on more potential. TCU feels like they may be what they are at this point.

I don't get it w/ them.

Dixon was this way at Pitt as well. 2 out 3 nights they are lights out, then they lay a turd. I am fine with them maintaining that pattern. I do think they are a level above OSU, WVU and OU still (not withstanding their loss at WVU)

 

[chuckd4735]

1. KU
2. ISU
3. KSU
4. UT
5. BU
6. TCU
7. OSU
8. OU
9. WVU
10. TT

Yes, injuries matter. ISU has been without 6th man F Jaz Kunc for all of Big 12 play. Will be interesting to see how he is integrated back into the rotation since newly eligible Tre King sopped up his minutes.

Is there a timetable for David to return?

Jaz was a starter btw, gabe moved in to start with a 4 guard lineup.

In lieu of new thread (honestly we should choose one as the "official" and purge the weekly versions) ...

Here's my power rank, thru 1/21:
1 Kansas State
2 Kansas
3 Iowa State
4 TCU
5 Texas
6 Baylor
7 Oklahoma State
8 West Virginia
9 Oklahoma

I agree with this. You could argue ISU #2 since we have two one possession losses on the road and KU got blasted at home but KU also did beat us

We should wait for Tuesday's outcomes. Today is muddier than the Missouri River after spring storms. I can't with any confidence sort it out without first seeing Bu/Ku and ISU/K-State. TCU is a complete enigma.

BTW, my basis: how the B12 finishes based on what has happened and what my eyes tell me. Tuesday night will potentially provide a major sort.

The really odd thing about tcu is, their best player is a pg but their glaring weakness is pg play. They are great in transition but struggle in the half court bc their offense is just Miles going 1 on 1. He will either kick and flop taking a tough 3 or flop at the rim trying to draw a foul.

Fixed for accuracy.

 

[surly]

Miles reminds me a lot of Marcus Smart. Uber talented. Overly dramatic. Athletic. Tough. Flopper.

I'd say KSU is on top of these rankings today. We can alter that tomorrow, and then we see where it goes.
But the Cats are #1 right now.
