Please remember, this is why KU Buckets exist. BASKETBALL

@wrwlumpy Wouldn't you love to see a James Earl Jones monologue on what Basketball means to us all?

Goosebumps! We are awesome. Let's make it 14 straight and NC #6.

NC #4*

The banners are hanging @BShark

I need to make a foundation so I can give KU titles for 97, 03, 10 and 11.

@BShark Imagine how many titles we'd have if CBB did it like CFB? Determined by the final poll? Fake titles. Then getting airdropped into a national championship game or a faux final four. Must be nice.

@BShark KU currently has 5 national titles and 3 NCAA titles.

@HighEliteMajor Before the fb playoffs, teams first got airdropped into a single playoff (bowl) game, where a team had the chance for putting a nice cap on their season. So, then a champion would be simply declared based on season plus a single game. And there were two major polls declaring fb champions in a number of years, and they were sometimes different, expanding the possibilities further!

KU could really clean up with a system of season + one.

@mayjay For a long time, national champs in football were declared prior to the bowl games so a team could win a title while still losing their bowl game because they were already declared champs.

@Texas-Hawk-10 I forgot about that timing.

@Texas-Hawk-10 I decided to look it up. There is a discussion in #8 in the following article of how the different polls' timing caused all types of issues for AP especially, leading to the eventual change to after the bowls.
