It's from his power rankings article.

From an emotional standpoint, Kansas should theoretically drop from the fourth spot after losing at home to Oklahoma State. The Jayhawks have now lost three games at Allen Fieldhouse this season, plus another one at the Sprint Center in Kansas City. On paper, though, the Jayhawks' résumé is still impressive. They own wins away from home over West Virginia, Kentucky, TCU and Texas, with a home win over Texas A&M thrown in. Only five of their wins are against sub-100 teams. They rank in the top 12 in pretty much every metric, from RPI to BPI to KenPom and everything else.

Despite the home loss to Oklahoma State, Kansas stays at No. 4, holding on to what would be the hypothetical final No. 1 seed. The Jayhawks have the most quadrant 1 wins in the country and the most quadrant 1 plus quadrant 2 wins. They're the only team in the country with an average RPI win higher than 100.
