The talk was subdued at first, but it’s getting louder and louder. Though Kansas was the consensus number one team in America before the season, a growing number of fans and media members are calling for Texas to unseat the Jayhawks as the top-ranked team. FoxSports.com’s Jeff Goodman, for example, wrote in a recent column that Texas deserves the top spot in the polls. I understand that the Longhorns just knocked off North Carolina and Michigan State. And I understand that Kansas hasn’t played a top-25 team yet and doesn’t have same type of non-conference resume as Texas. I can’t wait until the two teams meet in Austin this February, and Texas has the upper-hand in that game on its home court. But how does the team-to-beat suddenly fall from its top spot, without actually being beat? It doesn’t make sense to me. KU’s non-conference foes, such as UCLA, Memphis, Michigan and California, haven’t played well enough to provide the Jayhawks with resume-enhancing competition. Only Memphis even gave Kansas an ounce of trouble, however, and there’s nothing to suggest that the Jayhawks aren’t the best team in America. It surprises me how quickly people’s minds can be changed in the world of sports.
