Washington State It was hard for me to rank Wazzou over Texas, Missouri and Nevada, but I think that on a neutral court they could beat both those teams. I also have to just marvel at something right now. It hasn't always been pretty, but Wisconsin already has four wins over NCAA tourney teams. That doesn't often happen before we hit Big 10 play. Wow, good going Bucky

Hey man... to each his own... but both of you guys made some strange picks this week... Alabama seven places over Notre Dame, who just beat the **** out of them? Texas A&M that far over LSU? I mean... ??? Like I said though, to each his own. Difference of opinions make this world go round...

Difference of opinions make this world go round...</div> I had Alabama 5th and Notre Dame not even ranked the week that ND beat the, so there was no way I could drop Alabama 10+ spots and place Notre Dame ahead of them. That's hpw I want to do these rankings. Now you have a point about A&M being over LSU. I will admit that I forgot about LSU beating them.
^ yeah, similar deal with me. Virginia and Zona have been a thorn in my side; I was trying to keep UVA ahead of Zona because they beat 'em, but now I just can't do that anymore. At a certain point, I guess, you just have to go with your gut and not worry about the disparity between teams that have played each other Things are definitely getting interesting, though. I remember last year, after awhile it felt like only about 15 teams were even deserving of being in the top 25, and now it's like there's 40 teams I want to put in there

Yeah I watched most of the game, Gonzaga just couldn't hold onto the basketball. It wasn't that Georgia was the better team, it was more a case of Gonzaga beating themselves. Gonzaga's played arguably the toughest schedule of any college team thus far and have 3 quality wins. North Carolina - Win Butler - Loss Texas - Win Washington State - Loss Washington - Win 3-2 against good teams puts them in the middle of the pack for me at this point.
@ Wisconsin #5 in the national polls. We beat the #2 team convincingly and moved up...two spots EDIT: that's only in the coaches' poll. The AP actually has us ranked #4 how did the AP get it right...well, right-er, than the coaches? LOL I guess I'll take it

LOL I guess I'll take it</div> I don't know how anyone could have Florida over Wisconsin right now. We've lost the only 2 teams we've played all season. Right now with Horford out and Brewer still recovering from mono, I don't think the Gators could beat any of the Top 20 teams and probably not many of the Top 25 teams. To have us ranked in not only the Top 5, but even in the top 10-15 baffles me. I wonder how far we'll drop when Ohio State hammers us.
