Well, the Cats did what they needed to do, and survived to fight another day as Upset Saturday claimed numerous other victims.
In a fair world, the AP Top 15 that comes out tomorrow would look something like this:
- Texas (10-0)
- Kansas (10-0)
- Kentucky (11-0)
- Purdue (10-0)
- Syracuse (11-0)
- West Virginia (8-0)
- Duke (9-1)
- Villanova (10-1)
- Michigan State (9-2)
- Connecticut (7-2)
- Kansas State (10-1)
- Georgetown (8-1)
- Ohio State (9-2)
- New Mexico (12-0)
- Ole Miss (10-1)
It will be interesting to see what the pollsters, in all their wisdom, come up with.
P.S. Did I call that Wichita State upset or what? Booyah!
