First, they said publicly beforehand this year that they were no longer looking at your last 10 games or most recent play...that the whole year counted the same. Second, when you say 'preseason' do you mean OOC? Because Oklahoma was not thought to be a great team coming into this year, but they certainly played like it until mid-January. That's why they're in the Tournament, not because of any preseason ranking. That has nothing to do with it.
