Another No. 1 (Kansas) falls, but there's a reason for this chaos

The fluctuation at the top of college basketball is the theme of the 2019-2020 season. We're not surprised. Right now, No. 1 means you're kinda No. 1, we think, but we're definitely not sure. It also means you should probably prepare postgame comments to explain your team's abrupt fall from that slot in your next game.

It's convenient to suggest that Kansas never deserved the No. 1 spot (thanks, Twitter), but the truth is the Jayhawks had won nine in a row (including games against BYU, Colorado, Dayton) after a season-opening loss to Duke in the Champions Classic.
