February 25, 200818 yr ^ and with next year being a ??? I hope your boys make a run for you.... The only point I have with the above poll, is that Louisville is under-ranked. They are ranked where their performance dictated them to be, but they are a Top 5 team right now, IMO.

They are ranked where their performance dictated them to be, but they are a Top 5 team right now, IMO. I was going to say "Well, of course it is based on performance" but then I realized that UK doesn't deserve #35 based on their performance. Top 5 may be pushing it but UL should be higher.
February 25, 200818 yr How does Duke lose back to back games and only slide 4 spots? Because there is a clear Duke bias from coast to coast among other coaches... :lol:

February 25, 200818 yr How does Duke lose back to back games and only slide 4 spots? How does UK get blown out by 41 and a week and a half later start getting votes? I don't care how good Vandy is, they are 14th.No team that is remotely close to the Top 25 should get beat by 41 to anyone.

I don't care how good Vandy is, they are 14th.No team that is remotely close to the Top 25 should get beat by 41 to anyone. I can't argue with you here. But on the night UK got demolished, there was no team in the country that could have played with or beaten Vandy. Vandy had one of those nights where EVERYTHING went right.

I don't care how good Vandy is, they are 14th.No team that is remotely close to the Top 25 should get beat by 41 to anyone. Because they're 9-3 in conference including wins over the current #1 and #14 teams? The loss was bad, but the margin isn't indicitive of how UK has been playing.

February 25, 200818 yr I thought X would be in the top 10. Bracketology has them as a 2 seed! That's just ludicrous.
