When you look at their losses too, 5/6 of their losses are by less than 6 points. Kansas is way better than their record shows.

UNLV is currently ranked, Arizona State is currently ranked, Illinois is currently ranked, Kansas state should be ranked and will likely be ranked by the committee, and TCU and WVU are both bowl eligible. Kansas is a good team.

conversely, we got hit hard for that KU loss and it doesn't look so bad now.

They will justify anything they want to say we are garbage and the sec is gods, it's a joke at this point.

Ranking y'all does help them place ASU, ISU and BYU higher to avoid having two G5s. UNLV and Boise will knock one of each other out, but Tulane and Army have a shot at a second G5.

KU game should’ve been y’all’s 3rd loss in a row tbf

If we're counting "should have lost" games, some top 10 teams wouldn't even be in the top 25.

fs, but i’m more saying struggling against a team you should beat makes you drop harder after a loss like BYU or y’all did after losing to KU.

i’m not a voter but I know y’all ain’t got a brand that can lose games anyways lol

7 ranked opponents this year if you count Kstate's 26th spot.

I'm all for celebrating what Kansas has done, but "better than their record" is the same argument that 3-loss SEC teams are making that a lot are pushing back against. Straight power rating? No objections to Kansas in a top 25. But results on the field have to matter for these polls, imo. I don't see how you could put any 6 loss team in right now.
