Of course the voters will tell you differently.

I understand that. It's still wrong. IT should be only about this season...the whole season. You have to toss in the Oklahoma team that played Colorado and Iowa State with the Oklahoma team that played Missouri in the rankings. I don't agree with Cannon Shell, that it is highly unlikely Kansas goes undefeated...all they have left are Missouri (at home) and Ok State on the road. Two winnable games in my opinion. I think it's at least a 50-50 shot they go undefated in the regular season. OF course the Big 12 championship game against most likely Oklahoma would be where it could all come crashing down (and prove how smart those pollsters really are!!). But to me at this point they are clearly number 1 in the Big 12 and should be the highest ranked Big 12 team in the polls...they beat K State and Colorado on the road and Texas A & M on the road...granted those aren't powerhouses...but still very good road wins. Texas couldn't beat K-State at home and Oklahoma couldn't beat Colorado. There is zero excuse for them not to be the highest ranked Big 12 team in the polls at this juncture.
To me it's like if LSU were 8-0 and beat Georgia on the road and Florida was 7-1 and lost to Georgia and the pollsters had Florida 4 spots higher in the polls. Would there be no discussion or outrage at that in Louisiana?? Or Oregon is 8-0 and beats Cal on the road and USC is 7-1 and loses to Cal and USC is ranked 4 spots higher in the polls. Would any of those scenarios ever happen?? I don't think so. The Kansas/Oklahoma rankings are completely obscene.
