Maybe there's a spot on the list better than #1?

The media loves making themselves look like idiots. Mark this one down as irrelevant

Weird that we wouldn't be on that list. Blame Currie for not having enough non revenue sports that matter.

The conference is going to be a dogfight this season. I can't say I disagree with this.

I'd rather be 6th than 1st or 2nd in preseason polls

It was a Tulsa guy (I think Al Jerkins). I heard him on the radio. He said he didn't know who to pick, so he picked Bill's team.

Yep, 1-6 are all interchangeable depending on how the ball bounces on any given Saturday.

The only thing the media likes more than giving us no respect is saying in November how we were their darkhorse.

"K-State is picked the lowest in the preseason league poll of any Big 12 team coming off a season in which it hoisted the Big 12 trophy."

And I imagine we were the lowest ranked preseason team to win a Big 12 trophy.

Since the poll began in 1996, the Big 12 media has under-ranked us by one spot on average. In the past five years, they've under-ranked us by an average of three spots -- 5.4 average prediction vs. 2.4 average finish.
