Certainly can't hurt their bid for a #1 seed.

I understand what you are saying and I agree with you. I just consider the polls a complete farce anyway. I am still waiting for a legitimate reason as to why we have a PRE-season poll.

Personally, I think the polls should not even be done until February 1. Until that day, all anybody knows about is record and RPI. Period. No coaches no AP no USA.

Fair enough. I agree, preseason polls are worthless.

I already said it didn't make sense. I know they lost to LSU and UCLA and twice to Texas Tech, but KU's two really bad losses were early in the season, when they don't matter quite as much. In that case, KU's loss to A&M was "better" than A&M's loss to Texas Tech.

Plus KU had one more win than A&M entering the week. Now they have two. I don't think voters put much stock in past head-to-head meetings week to week when filling out their polls. If so, KU would have leapfrogged Florida last week.

I don't know if you know this or not, but the rankings change WEEKLY. Texas A&M was ahead of us for that reason (beating us at home) for 3 weeks in a row.

After that, we've been dominating too much while they were busy losing to TTech.

What you're smelling is the inside of your colon.
