3 Kansas (1) 20-1 163
It's hard to call K-State a rival given the Jayhawks' utter domination of the series, but Kansas definitely ran into a rivalry-game atmosphere Wednesday night in Manhattan. Getting ambushed by the Wildcats doesn't invalidate everything KU has shown this season, but it does make claims to the top spot moot at this point.
16 Kansas State 15-4 26
They knew they needed to make some noise in the Big 12 to make up for a series of misses in nonconference play. How does 5-0 with a convincing beating of Kansas work? Michael Beasley gets most of the national love, but the Wildcats' surge has been keyed by the growth of Bill Walker as option 1B and the development of the team's supporting cast. Like O.J. Mayo at USC, Beasley has recently had to do less, which has meant more success for KSU.
