Thoughts?

I was present for the Throttling that UNLV took from K-St.

It got ugly, and everyone in the arena knew that UNLV didnt have a chance 3 mins into the 2nd Half.

K- St. is a very good team. They have size, speed, and depth. They can contend for the Big 12 Championship.

Kansas State deserves a tour of the top 25, good team.

UNLV falls, but their still good. Rebs are a contender for the Mountain West.

Got a problem with the amount of love Kansas gets. Haven't played anybody in the top 25, 61 votes. Texas gets only 1.
I believe these voters should introduce a little integrity with their voting.
I would like to see Kansas with a quality win.

I fell you in the fact everyone is on Kansas's nuthairs.

But college basketball rankings are irrelevant, and only around for marketing purposes. So I dont put much stock into CBB rankings. March Madeness evens the playing field so votes in-season are just so networks can pump up matchups, and coaches can tell recruits, "look at our ranking."
