I think I heard that one season K-State finished ranked #1 despite losing in the Final 4. It seems like this would actually be better than a Helms NC (more than one guys opinion, and a decision made less than decades after the fact). This is how they used to decided NC's in football pre-BCS/BCA.
Beemer, thoughts? How would they handle this at ku? Banner? Trophey? Both?
hmmmm
