As of January 7, 2010, Most observers have said that Kansas, Texas and Kentucky
have distinguished themselves from the rest of the NCAA D1 field with their
midseason unblemished records. Fans of each of these teams content their team

perhaps none of them is right. Read an objective statistical comparision of
these three teams here.
