Kansas being No. 6 overall is a clear sign that quadrants are going to be a huge factor this season. Jayhawks are tied for the most Quadrant 1 wins and Quadrant 1 + 2 wins. Jeff Borzello

KU knows how to schedule. Whomever is in charge of the schedule is really good at what they do. Didn’t miss a beat with the format change.
Lunardi ↗ thinks KU is #3 seed...
Wishing our scheduler would've taken it easy on us in conference play lol
@JayHawkFanToo It’s based off of the word of the bracket preview released by the selection committee as opposed to a bracktologist. It’s merely a snapshot of today. Bracketologists project out. I’m just impressed that KU is that high personally. Tied for most group 1 & 2 wins is apparently as big as advertised.
@JayHawkFanToo It says that he made his picks before the committee provided theirs. I guess your point is he isn’t too far off? I don’t believe we you are saying his opinion is more important than the actual selection committee?
No, I am not saying that at all. All I am sayin is that despite how many fans believe this is such a bad team, most other outside people still see KU as a very good team. The NCAA has it as a #2 seed and Lunardi as a #3.
I checked KenPom, Sagarin and Massey and KU’s strength of schedule is way up there, anywhere between #2 and #5 with the most wins over top 50 teams; OU, WVU, Tech. and Texas are also way up there and all conference teams have SOS in the top 50 and 8 out the top 10 teams are also ranked in the top 50. The Big 12 is still the top ranked conference.
What I am saying is that some fans don’t appreciate how tough the conference is top to bottom as shown by the last place team beating the top team. Oh well...
I agree with Lunardi about KU being a 3 seed right now and would even listen to a case for KU being a 4 seed. KU has 2 bad losses on their resume right now (Baylor and OSU). Texas A&M is our best win followed by Kentucky, and TCU Ă—2, that's not saying a lot at this point beacsue thatmock bracket that was released is based on RPI which is what their primary tool is to seed teams.

Road win at West Virginia.
@BeddieKU23 Not based on RPI. WVU is in the mid 30's, the other 3 teams are top 25. I know RPI isn't the best way to measure teams, but that's why KU was projected a 2 seed in that mock tournament bracket.
Other rankings such as KenPom and Sagarin are now also used in addition or instead of the RPI.
@JayHawkFanToo People claim that every year, but RPI is still the biggest influence on seeding and who gets in the tournament.
New procedures have now been implemented that allow committee members to use the RPI or one of the computer rankings for selection and seed as they see fit.
