Old Big 8 Schools

[Lookoverhere]

Six of the old Big 8 schools are ranked in the Associated Press Top 25 this morning. Would be seven if KU would have run the ball more against Illinois.

Not sure what to make of it, other than it's an interesting note.

And the SEC / B1G will do their best to slant the polls in their direction.

I can't really argue the top 7 at this point. Get used to seeing the P2 at the top. But #'s 8 and beyond are debatable.

"The only other time a conference had four of the top five teams was the SEC on Oct. 19, 2014, when Mississippi State was No. 1, Ole Miss was third, Alabama was fourth and Auburn was fifth.

SEC — 8 (Nos. 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 15, 16).

Big Ten — 6 (Nos. 3, 8, 9, 11, 17, 23).

Big 12 — 5 (Nos. 12, 13, 14, 20, 21).

ACC — 4 (Nos. 10, 19, 22, 24).

MAC — 1 (No. 25)."

Independent — 1 (No. 18).

Half of those 6 are now in the SEC or B1G. About all you can say.
