With their win and the Longhorn loss, KU would have to drop 3 of their next five in order not to win the BigXII Conference for the 10th Consecutive Season. Quite an impressive feat.

If Embid comes back next year, in addition to incoming recruit Cliff Alexander, that team is going to be scary to deal with.

Yepper. Life is hard in the Big 12.

Honestly, though, despite your historic deficiency, it's been a darn good year for that conference.

Historic deficiency? Top to bottom it's been a great league. At the top, it's only Kansas.

I'm not about to get in another argument with you concerning the Big 12, or 10, or 9. Whatever the hell it is now. You'll pull some Berlin, some Hegel, some Nietzsche, some Descartes, some Plato out on my ass. But you're right, at the top it's only Kansas. As it has always been and always will be.

Conference RPI:
2014: Big XII, BigTen, Pac-12, Big East, ACC
2013: Mountain West, BigTen, AAC, ACC, BigXII
2012: BigTen, Big East, SEC, BigXII, Mountain West
2011: Big East, BigTen, Mountain West, BigXII, ACC
2010: Big XII, Big East, ACC, SEC, A-10
2009: BigTen, SEC, ACC, Pac-12, Big East
2008: ACC, BigXII, Big East, PAC-12, SEC
2007: SEC, ACC, PAC-12, Missouri Valley, BigTen
2006: BigTen, Big East, SEC, ACC, BigXII
2005: ACC, PAC-12, BigXII, Big East, BigTen

I'm failing to see the "historic deficiency" of the BigXII over the ten year period in which KU won ten consecutive BigXII Conference Championships.

Historical deficiency...you should ask Ole Roy about that. It happened under his watch, not Bill Self.

Mountain West 2013 number one?

Wow, didnt realize that.

And that's just one reason why, in my opinion, the RPI never tells the entire story. I don't place much stock in it for individual teams, nor do I place much stock in it for conferences.

RPI certainly does not tell the whole story. It is a piece of evidence, that is all. The #1 team in the RPI is rarely the best team in the nation; the #1 conference in the RPI is rarely the best conference in the nation. However, I do object to someone being able to say that a team that is #1 in the RPI (or ranked 1-5) over a ten year period is historically deficient; in the same vein, I object to your assertion that the BigXII is historically deficient. The BigXII, top to bottom, is a great conference. Is it the best conference top to bottom? No. Is it the best conference? No. Is it "historically deficient"? No.

Maybe your ass is still chapped, though, from the last three KU-UNC matchups, and this chapping is influencing your assessment of the BigXII (in some ridiculous manner, since it is a BigXII team that has owned your Tar Heels in recent history).

I laughed so hard :eek:lol:

But for real, congrats on another win in the conference. Just lose some here and there so UK stays ahead in the overall wins category :)

Don't worry, you guys have enough National Championship banners to wipe up any tears that might be caused by KU accumulated more Conference Championships than UK.

I believe KU is ahead of UK in conference titles. I was talking overall program wins. You all are only 10 or so behind us now.

Once again, congratulations. Hopefully the committee will schedule us in either St. Louis or Kansas City again this year.

Edit: Also, you forgot Texas. They've owned UNC as of late as well.

And I've mostly just been busting your balls. Mostly. I recognize KU as a good team. Don't get me wrong. I just think UNC is historically better than any other program. Why? Because I'm a dumbass fan. For me, talking about sports in logic is the equivalent to talking about a Fellini film with logic as well.
