Yes, KU has played a weak schedule, but IMO it says a lot that they are the only undefeated team in BCS conferences.

[/ QUOTE ]

Find me one quality win. I don't see how their conference is relevant when they haven't beaten anyone.

[ QUOTE ]
Not having them in your top 10 at this point would be a little absurd. You'd have them behind 4 two loss teams? Including OU who lost to a Colorado team that KU beat? (just using the AP to judge as teams you may have above them).

[/ QUOTE ]

I don't buy into this A-beat-B-who-beat-C crap. Anybody can have one bad week. The difference is that Oklahoma beat Mizzou and Texas (in Austin)...Kansas has beaten no one. I'd put Kansas behind all of the relevant two loss teams AND a three loss Florida. Seriously, if you can defend that with anything besides "they haven't lost," that would help your argument.

While KU didn't have anyone non-conference, it wasn't their fault that their conference schedule was so weak this year

[/ QUOTE ]

It's their fault that their non-conference schedule is so weak. Also, this is irrelevant.

Beating OSU, KSU, Texas A&M, and Colorado on the road has to count for something.

[/ QUOTE ]

It does. That's why I was nice enough to put them in my top 15, unlike Hawaii.

I can't find your top 15 list.

Eh, I didn't really make one...I just said that Kansas wasn't in my top 10, sort of implying that they cracked my top 15.

Yeah, I'm from Texas, and I somehow forgot this. My bad.

Of the 4 common opponents, KU has a margin of victory 33 points greater than OU. KU is 4-0 against these opponents while OU is 3-1. OU's 2 loses don't even come from Mizzou or Texas. Other than when Kansas beats them in two weeks, what is a more fair way of evaluating which team is better other than your opinion?

Should be interesting, considering that a team has to be ranked in the top 14 in the BCS system to get an at-large bid and no conference can have more than 2 teams in BCS bowls.

SEC and Big12 could have 7 of the top 14 teams, but only get 4 slots.

Big10/11 could end up with only 1, unless Illinois moves up from #17 without playing a game.

The only way that Kansas beats OU is because half the starters are out....and even then I wouldn't bet on it. Keep up the cockiness.

WVU has perhaps the worst loss of the contenders. I think ASU jumps them if they beat USC.

[/ QUOTE ]
So ASU has a better chance of getting into the NCF than WVU if they win out?

[/ QUOTE ]

This is a very interesting question and one that will spark some debate if ASU wins out and OU/Texas wins the Big 12.

This week's BCS standings. Took them long enough:



I don't see ASU jumping tOSU. The gap between them is pretty big.
