Dick Weiss starting to come around even  :thumbsup:

I think he has had us unranked, #18, unranked, #16 in recent weeks.

You can make an argument for not ranking us, particularly if you put extra weight on road wins, but Bilas is a clown.

Yes.  I am saying that you could probably find 25 teams with more/better road wins than the one we just had, that also don't have horrendous home losses.

D. Scott Fritchen ?@DScottFritchen
How about K-State at No. 13??? Only the 2nd time K-State has been Top 15 in February since after Mitch Richmond's senior season in 1987-88.

D. Scott Fritchen ?@DScottFritchen
Prior to Monday, K-State was ranked No. 14 to start Feb. 1988 and at No. 10 to start Feb. 2010. So it's the 2nd time in the last 24 years.

Trolling team's fanbases with your rankings would be loads of fun imo   :D

Like Iowa State beating us, having the same Big 12 record, and barely getting votes...  :bwpopcorn:

CycloneFanatic is pretty sure they will be ranked after beating us in Manhattan this Sat

We have a pretty decent shot at top 10 after going 2 - 0 this week.

Orly?  Do you also believe you could probably find a magical unicorn that grants wishes?

When you reference "horrendous home losses" do you mean us and our home loss to RPI #6 KU and...   :dunno:

This proves that super-douche is much worse than super-tuck. DJDT has the deadly combo of both.

No, I wasn't referring to a bunch of bad losses for us.  The obvious teams that a hypothetical voter might place ahead of us based on a valuing road wins strongly would be Wisconsin and OSU.

We have a weird non-con resume.  We're out of the top 25 in 11 of 25 computer rankings compiled here.  Some of those are wackier than others, but whatever, it doesn't seem completely out of this world for someone to vote us at 26-30.

The problem with this is K-State has a much better non con resume than most teams 5-25. At this point in the season that would be an insane overreach and just a lame ass excuse for not ranking a team. You could take any individual metric and use just that to show a team isn't top 25 worthy. I would love to hear Eamon's explanation, there simply aren't anywhere close to 25 teams in America with a better profile.

Sagarin has us 24.  Kenpom puts us at 27.  I personally think that we do deserve to be ranked, but the difference between 18, or whatever the goEMAW consensus ranking is, and 26 is pretty marginal.

Rankings have never been nor never will be about ranking teams "best" to "worst"
