Simple really.
Baylor doesn’t get it because they went 8-4 OOC then finished. 10-8 in what the media perceives a better conference.
Baylor also the last 5-6 years has had a better name with regards to tourney success, no they’ve never gotten to a final four but outside of that they’ve been a name in the tourney.
Also, realistically, other than this website, i really haven’t seen anyone crucify us at all.
Maybe they discussed it here and there during one of our games but from when I watched it was more the talking heads making a case for us with our SEC record

Baylor's only real reputation in College hoops involves Dave Bliss and one of his players murdering another and everyone covering it up.
they are not a 'brand' in college hoops that carries more weight than Frank Martin and his NCAAT showing at both KSU/USC. put Frank's 24-8 USC team in that got snubbed wrongly and it makes a perceived gap between the programs even more ridiculous.
when I say 'crucify' - I'm speaking more about the math than anything in the media. you're right - we've gotten some good buzz in the media especially since SEC play started.
both schools lost to Oklahoma State, only Baylor did it at home.
