1. Duke

2. KU

Will it be a 1 vs 2 in MSG??

@BeddieKU23 better be! Indiana's no slouch. Saw where NCAA came down on Pitino.

Other Big-12 Teams.

West Virginia- 18th

Texas- 22nd

Iowa St- 27th

OU- 31st

Kansas State got 3 votes??? Must be from Manhattan or drunk, likely both

@Crimsonorblue22

Yeah he'll appeal and serve some phony suspension

@BeddieKU23

KSU got 3 votes? Every single poll has them as #9 or 10 in the Big 12...

@JayHawkFanToo every dog... This must be theirs? How is that possible?

@Crimsonorblue22

Liberace's siren's song? LOL.

@JayHawkFanToo

Yes I cannot actually make this up if I tried. More votes then Baylor, a team that is likely to be ranked during the year.

@BeddieKU23 How the hell did KSU get a vote let alone 3 lol Webber must be spending extra time on his knees. I saw on CBS they had all D1 teams rated and put WSU as 26, I spit out my drink I was laughing so hard they barely got in to the dance last year and lost half their team.

I kinda hate being ranked so high early in the season. Whenever we're ranked high we tend to play down to our competition it seems. i like when our guys feel disrespected and get that fire in their belly.

@HawkInMizery

Everyone plays down to competition unless you have an elite team.

But I get what your saying, Self's job to create that chip on their shoulder mentality.

@kjayhawks

That's what happens when you let coaches vote. The AP poll should provide better clarity.

I know CBS was having a nice drink party when they made that list. Wichita is not a good team this year after losing arguably the 2 best players that have ever come through the program.

It is coincidence that Kansas and Duke are ranked 2 and 1 right before the Mono Sodium Glutamate game?

@BeddieKU23 Xavier McDaniel and Antoine Carr? Long gone, VanVleet and Baker were nice also rans, but won't have the pro careers that the aforementioned did.

@dylans Levingston and stallworth

@Crimsonorblue22 I think it is Cliff Levingston.

@jaybate-1.0 me thinks it is no coincidence

@BeddieKU23

A little hyperbole? Dave Stallworth , Xavier McDaniel, Antoine Carr, Cleo Littleton, Warren Armstrong and Cliff Levingston among others would disagree.

give the mid-major its due: once every 30 years, they get a few great players.

@BeddieKU23 We could have an elite team this year. I just feel our teams have always played their best when we "overachieve" and play feeling disrespected. Take the 11-12 team for an example. Most of the talking heads didn't think we'd be the ones playing against Kentucky.

@jaybate-1.0 ha it took me a minute to get the acronym at first. Good ole high school chem.
