Thought they were gonna keep conference teams apart? Could it be tennesse?
-
@Crimsonorblue22 don’t think it can be Houston with them losing
-
I think there is an outside chance we could play ISU, Baylor and Houston with loses won’t be in the top 2
-
I think it’s the 2-0 teams plus points
-
Michigan zags win?
-
Michigan probably gonna be top, 28 pts ahead at half
-
Right now I believe it would be Michigan #1 and us 2 from what I’m seeing not sure tho
-
Okay looking at an update looks like it’s most likely Gonzaga vs Michigan for the title and us versus Tennessee for third unless something crazy happens.
-
we’ve played Tennessee in Maui, Atlantis and now probably Vegas all within the last 5 years
-
@rcjhdraft seems like they have kicked our butts a lot of memory serves me right
-
@kjayhawks yeah we’ve lost to them both times. Third time’s the charm?
-
Zags are ahead of us in pts. Their game isn’t over.
-
So we play Tennessee next? Confusing. Oh, and AI sucks. I’ve seen like three different, opposing summaries of who is in the championship game. Weird.
-
Fans of other teams and journalists getting mad when everyone knew the rules beforehand is very stupid. Teams were leaving in their starters late BECAUSE margin mattered…
-
-
I don’t care whether we are in the “championship game” or not. I just want us to win.
-
Agreed, and don’t get why fans/journalists are getting mad about the rules now. Maybe casual fans hear that a team was crowned the players era champ and that carries some marketing weight, but that is going to be a small set of people. Difference between the teams that go 3-0 really doesn’t mean anything in the long run. I was also under the impression that the current players are the ones that miss out on the prize money, so not like this goes into NIL budget for you to recruit for next year.
I would understand if the players missing out on money are a little upset about though.
-
Money!

@kjayhawks Selective memory! We actually played them in Hawaii I think in the Maui two seasons ago. It says Honolulu, but I think that was after the fires. We beat them by nine. The two previous meetings were ugly, but we’re 5-3 in the series this century. That’s a lot of meetings for a team that’s not in our conference but we can expect another tough one today and wouldn’t be surprised to see us lose nor would I be surprised to see us win.
-
Rothstein tweeted out the schedule for today and it showed KU game at 4. Everywhere else is saying 6 including KUathletics. Just highlights the confusion of this weird event.
-
those rothstein times are mountain time zone
-
@rcjhdraft No, then it would say 5 oclock.

Looks like they have beaten us 2 of the last 3 and I think I’m remembering them destroying us in Knoxville a few years ago.

ISU fans are losing their minds on X right now. I personally don’t like the format even a little bit it’s ridiculously confusing. But as you said everyone agreed to it coming in. I be fine with never playing in this again but with the money up for grabs, I’d bet we are there a lot in the coming years.
-
Houston was ranked 3, they should have won. I like it, this yr! Great money!

From the Players Era website on game time:
Third place: No. 17 Tennessee vs. Kansas, 7 p.m. Eastern time | TNT

I might be in the minority here, but I don’t really care whether our players get a little richer or not. Hell, if anything them winning less money may make them hungrier to win in March when you can really make a killing off of NIL.
