Big 12 rankings, Week 7: Officially, Kansas on top

Ridiculous officiating or not (and it was ridiculous, scandalous officiating), Kansas would have to fall apart down the stretch to end its streak of Big 12 championships. 1. KANSAS (24-4, 12-3): Say what you will about bogus calls late (and the Jayhawks seem to get a lot of those), there’s something to be said for

Big 12 rankings, Week 6: A dead heat

1. OKLAHOMA STATE (19-5, 9-3. Last week: Defeated Texas Tech, Oklahoma. This week: Wednesday vs. Kansas, Saturday at West Virginia): Do I think the Cowboys are winning the Big 12? No. But, for now, they’re No. 1 because they won at Kansas. 2. KANSAS (21-4, 9-3. Last week: Defeated Kansas State, Texas. This week: Wednesday

Big 12 rankings, Week 5: Frogs soar, Jayhawks croak

Well, well, well. All of sudden, Kansas State controls its destiny in the Big 12 title chase. I still think Kansas wins Monday and takes home another conference crown. For now, though, the Wildcats have earned the No. 1 spot. 1. KANSAS STATE (19-4, 8-2. Last week: Defeated Texas Tech, Iowa State. This week: Monday

Big 12 rankings, Week 4: Cowboy up, Jayhawk down

This isn’t the Kansas of the last few years, but the Jayhawks still have control of the Big 12 despite a stunning loss to Oklahoma State. 1. KANSAS (19-2, 7-1): Jayhawks’ penchant for playing to level of opponent finally results in a loss. 2. KANSAS STATE (17-4, 6-2): Tough Wildcats pick up big win at

Big 12 rankings, Week 3: Race all but over

Another week, two more Kansas wins. Might as well ship the conference championship trophy to Lawrence. KANSAS (18-1, 6-0. Last week: Defeated Kansas State, Oklahoma. This week: Monday at West Virginia, Saturday vs. Oklahoma State): Jayhawks essentially put the Big 12 title to bed with win against Kansas State and Iowa State’s meltdown at Texas

Big 12 rankings, Week 2: Sunflower Showdown for a change?

Is there a worse bottom of a conference than the Big 12? Perhaps the SEC, but it’s possible the bottom two teams each finish 1-17. Think about that. The NCAA selection committee probably will come seeding time. KANSAS (16-1, 4-0. Last week: Defeated Baylor, Texas. This week: Tuesday at Kansas, Saturday vs. Oklahoma): Jayhawks haven’t

Big 12 rankings, Week 1: It’s called a foul, ever hear of that, Fred?

Memo to Fred Hoiberg: FOUL! 1. KANSAS (14-1, 2-0. Last week: Defeated Iowa State, Texas Tech. This week: Monday vs. Baylor, Saturday at Texas): Better to lucky than good. Jayhawks didn’t play well in either of their games last week. 2. KANSAS STATE (13-2, 2-0. Last week: Defeated West Virginia. This week: Wednesday at TCU;

Move on. Ever hear of that, Wildcats?

If you’ve read this blog, you know I make fun of everybody. Myself, friends, family, teams (even my own) and, of course, Kansas fans. Among the entries on this blog have been several about coaching searches and hires. Despite offering some damn good advice, Kansas passed on Bobbie “The Brain” Heenan to replace Turner Gill
