First AP Poll:

#12 Utah
#17 Oklahoma State
#18 Kansas State
#22 Kansas

Utah only plays Oklahoma State. Oklahoma State plays Utah and Kansas State. Kansas State plays Oklahoma State and Kansas.

Assume these teams take care of business and only lose to each other:

Utah (11-1) (Loss to Ok. State)
Oklahoma State (11-1) (Loss to Kansas State)
Kansas State (11-1) (Loss to Kansas)
Kansas (12-0)

They all started in the Top 25. They all only lost to really good teams. Who gets left out?

No idea. But here’s the point: the Big 12 is getting “disrespected” because: (1) the teams that were supposed to be good were not; (2) the teams that were supposed to be bad were not; and (3) the teams that are good lost to teams that are bad. I don’t think it’s disrespect, it’s just been a weird season.
