In what fantasy world does KU deserve pre season #1?
Our fanbase is always correctIowaBear said:
According to our fanbase anyone not in the B12 is overrated. That's usually how it goes on here
I would be okay with that. And it would be nice to see eyes directed our way from the huge amount of folks in NYC and Boston that are UConn fansBig12Fan2024 said:
Some of our fans b itching about adding UConn are gonna wake up one day and understand in addition to getting one of the best brands in college basketball the more valuable component is that you get a huge part of the most visible and vocal media covering college sports now having a vested interest in watching and writing about Big 12 sports. That is gonna come in handy one day when the B1G and SEC have swallowed up the majority of the media's attention in both football and basketball. SEC has positioned itself nicely and the poll shows it.
You take UConn's crappy football program to get all the other benefits. Yormark knows this. It's too bad a bunch small thinking ADs and Presidents in the Big 12 don't, which is one of the many reasons why the SEC and B1G will continue to run laps around the Big 12 and ACC.
Besides at the rate our football program is going I'm not sure we have too many stones to throw at UConn.

Baylor schedule has 8 games against top 10 plus 4 more games against teams in the top 25.
Kansas, Arizona, & Houston each have only 9 games against teams on this list while UConn has only 7. Iowa State has 10. Texas has 11 but only 1 of those is ooc. It's insane how many SEC teams are on this list. I don't expect that in March.

Kentucky didn't exactly light the world on fire last year and their out of favor coach bounced to a rival. I think them not being high is actually fair. Some of the other teams look a wee inflated to me aside from Tennessee and Auburn.
Arky was insanely talented last year, but they were all really young, and it didn't fully translate into success. Going into the draft, I think they had 3 first round projections and one second rounder. I don't know how it actually turned out. With Calipari there, there should be a lot of excitement, so regardless of how good they turn out to be, it will be a marquee game.historian said:
I'm glad the two SEC teams we will play (Arky & maybe Tennessee are ranked). It's good for our resume.
This is the best schedule we have had since 2020-21 in terms of ranked opponents.
