Could Kansas beat Kentucky now? Hard to tell but it would obviously be a much different result and will be different again come the NCAA Tournament.

To compare UCLA to a team like Kansas makes no sense at all.

A better comparison would be a to a team like Missouri. Missouri is currently ranked about 186 in the Sagarin poll. This is much worse than the darkest days of Turner Gill's KU Football teams which many here never thought was possible.

Missouri Basketball is going to have a difficult time beating anyone even in a terrible conference like the SEC. Kentucky could probably play the JV/walk on team and beat Missouri by 50.

It's uncomfortable to watch a program attempt to compete like the Tigers so I have sent my condolences to many of my mizzou friends and most are extremely upset about the state of affairs in Columbia. Patience will help, keep your head up I tell them.

Love that your "top of the mountain" scenario includes looking up at Mizzou; MU won the head-to-head matchup (of course), played in the big 12 title game (ku did not), and finished ranked higher in the final rankings (Mizzou ranked 4th, ku 7th).

Top of the mountain, indeed. LMAO

The BCS was a memory that cannot be equaled. Hopefully you guys can get something similar one day.

How many other conference championship games were played the day of the SEC championship? (You probably don't know since conference championship games are dumb and hinder shots at getting into the playoffs, amirite?)

On an unrelated note, that Temple game must have been devastating. It's the first time in history a Kansas fan has turned the conversation from basketball to football.

I stand corrected.

Edit: Although, your link also noted that the 2013 SEC title game (featuring Mizzou) had more than 14 million viewers.

No, you actually don't stand corrected. Click the link to the Orange Bowl that the little doe himself used. This guy can't help but just lie through his teeth. Here...I'll paste the first paragraph:

The 2008 FedEx Orange Bowl was a post-season college football bowl game between the Virginia Tech Hokies and the Kansas Jayhawks on January 3, 2008, at Dolphin Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida. Spread bettors favored Virginia Tech by three points, but in a game dominated by defensive and special teams play, Kansas defeated Virginia Tech 24–21. The game was part of the 2007–2008 Bowl Championship Series (BCS) of the 2007 NCAA Division I FBS football season and was the concluding game of the season for both teams. This 74th edition of the Orange Bowl was televised in the United States on FOX and was watched by more than eight million viewers.

You didn't look very smart when you tried to refute my assertion that Ohio State let him walk because they wanted him to play DE rather than Tight End by showing me how they filled his spot the next day...with a DE.
