Men's college basketball Power Rankings: Alabama stays No. 1 but is it time to talk Kansas?

Is it time to add another team to the No. 1 discussion?

With Alabama losing to Tennessee on Wednesday, debate over the top spot in the rankings is once again needed. The Crimson Tide and Houston are the two obvious candidates, with Purdue fading a bit after dropping a game for a third straight week. But should we begin to consider Kansas as a potential overall 1-seed?

Sure, the Jayhawks have more overall losses than Alabama, Houston and Purdue, and they're lower in the NET and most predictive metrics, but their record-based résumé is unparalleled.
