I gain confidence in a CBB team based on who they beat, not necessarily who they lose to... and that mostly speaks to the fact that we're talking about college kids and to the fact that a UConn team that finished .500 in the BE last year and VCU can make the FF.
KU lost to Davidson, Duke lost to Miami, Mizzou lost to Oklahoma State, Michigan State lost to Northwestern... yeah, shit happens, just don't let it happen very often. Who can you play with? Who can you beat?
I'm not saying it's how the polls should work or whatever, it's just that some here are clearly focusing on the 5 losses while others are focusing on significant victories... of course, both have to be taken into account, but KU has shown throughout the season they can play with anyone in the country, and you can't say that about many teams.
