Texas Longhorns College Basketball. Should be number 1!

So as some of you may know from my posts that I am a huge sports fan. My enthusiasm for sports doesn't just sit among the professionals, but at the college level as well. Which is why I have decided to drop a few thoughts about the Texas Longhorns. I am semi perplexed how they are not number one in the country right now. Texas has by far had a touger schedule up to this point by testing themselves with tough non-conference games consecutively against Michigan State and North Carolina who are both top 10 teams. Not only did they beat these two teams, but had a winning margin above 10 points. They also jumped into the Big East and played a pretty good Pitt team who while they don't have the star power they had last year is still 10 and 2 on the year. You look at the Jayhawks side and they have played a fairly easy schedule. Their toughest game was against Memphis and they aren't even in the same league that they were just last year and two years ago when they were making pushes at the national title. Against them Kansas was pushed to the brink and only won by two. After that game Kansas has had a fluffy schedule facing low quality teams like UCLA, Michigan, and California who probably won't finish in the top half of their respected conferences. I think you have to give Texas the respect they deserve and give them the number 1 spot. Texas RPI is much higher than Kansas who only comes in at 14 while Texas is at 5. So, place your votes for Texas, because right now they are playing better ball against quality teams unlike Kansas.
