Texas and OU beat Kansas in RPI, SOS, NonConf. record, and overall win percentage. KS may have 1 more win than Texas, but they also have 1 more loss. All of TX losses were to teams ranked in the top 50 RPI, while KS has one loss to a team outside the top 50.

The committee made the right call in TX over KS. Sorry.

That's OK. Maybe it will fire up the Jayhawkers to actually come out and play up to their talent. Early season losses hurt them in the postseason but it's still a little strange that Texas gets a 1 and not someone else besides Kansas.

Maybe they wanted to have a rematch of Kansas and Arizona early in the tourney to get the big TV audience.
