I think they still are #1 in the Midwest.
I would not be surprised to see Texas as a #2 behind Purdue in the East.
Everybody knows the Big 12 is several notches better than the Big 10.
Have you watched the Big 12 at all this year? They are much better than the B1G, it's not close.
I will give you my opinion: #5 to the bottom of any conference is probably not going to be great. The big ten this year is a bunch of mediocre teams from #3 to the bottom. I'm giving IU the benefit of the doubt, they are #30 in the net, so certainly not a very good team, but we'll call them good for this discussion.
When you say #14 can beat #5 on any night, that isn't because #14 is very good, it's because #5 isn't very good. Parity of the mediocre.
Contrast that with the Big 12 this season: They have 7 teams in the top 30 of the net. It's not even close. Remember, there are only 10 teams total in the Big 12.

You don't have to watch every game. Just understand that the committee isn't going to look at only the final game or cherry pick Kansas' 3 worst games in order to evaluate their resume, as you did.
To put it another way, if the bottom 3 teams from the Big 12 were in any other conference, B1G included, they probably easily make the tournament.
Without Bona and Clark, I prefer UCLA instead of KU and Bama... And probably overrated Houston
