Let's say Kentucky wins the national championship by defeating Florida. Where would you rate Wichita State in the final poll? The Shockers were 35-0 and had a final shot to win their game with Kentucky. Unfortunately, it was in the second round. (OK, the third round officially, but I digress.)
I think an argument could be made for third, behind Kentucky and Florida. I'm worried the early exit will hurt, but should it? WSU played them as well as anyone. And if Kentucky does win, that makes two seasons in a row that Wichita would have lost to the eventual national champions.
Still, all the publicity for the longer lasting tournament teams might drop them.
I say WSU would deserve third. What say you?
