The national media and everyone out here on the West Coast loves K-State. Sorry guys, the world loves you.

Kelly said he believes Kansas State (No. 2 AP) and Oregon (No. 1 AP) are higher in the BCS standings simply because they started the season higher in the rankings and have stayed there.He said the main reason the Wildcats are ahead of the Irish: "They got to Oklahoma before we did."The Wildcats beat Oklahoma 24-19 on Sept. 22. The Irish beat the Sooners 30-13 on Oct. 27."If you just pulled Kansas State out and looked at their schedule and who they beat and you pulled Notre Dame out and you looked at them, I think a reasonable person would say, 'I think I can see Notre Dame being ahead of Kansas State in this situation.
In an interview with SiriusXM College Sports Nation on Wednesday, Kelly said he wouldn't campaign for a spot in the national championship game with matchups against Wake Forest and USC still remaining, but will go to bat for the Irish after the regular season if they're still perfect."I'm just not good enough to be able to do both," Kelly said on SiriusXM, referencing campaigning and coaching. "I'm challenged enough on a day-to-day basis to keep my guys focused on Wake Forest (on Saturday). The rest of the stuff, let's see how Notre Dame does. Let's take Wake Forest, see what happens there, and then USC. Then, if we get to the point after USC that we're undefeated, I'll go on 'Oprah' if I have to. Maybe I'll come back on Sirius."

Might have to get some negative commercials started in the swing states.
I'm not necessarily disagreeing. I am saying that through some cosmic event the new BCS No. 1, Kansas State, has replaced Notre Dame as America's Team. The Notre Dame that used to get every possible benefit of the doubt from commentators, polls and -- supposedly -- God, has shrunk back before our eyes.

I got cyber-slapped on Twitter. Wounds heal but the reaction -- mostly from Kansas State fans -- is burned into my screen.
A quiet land-grant institution nestled in Kansas' Flint Hills somehow has a better P.R. machine at the moment than the world's most significant Catholic university.
Tony Kornheiser is insufferable. Worse the Colin Cowherd.
