Where is the consistancy?!?! UKOwnstheSEC, you had Wisconsin ranked last week, then they won this week, and all of a sudden you dropped them? What's the reasoning behind that? You guys should draw off your rankings from the previous week or else the overall rankings will have a bunch of inconsistancies every week.

Come on man, where's Arizona, Hofstra, and Maryland? You had them all in your rankings last week, yet you have none of them in your rankings this week. All Arizona did was beat undefeated Marquette. Why penalize them for that? Hofstra and Maryland didn't lose this week either. What is your problem with them?

 

Yeah mine suck, I'm really tired. I am going on like 3 hours sleep, I have more time now. I'll make some changes.

Last week you had North Carolina at # 7. This week you have them at # 9, even though the didn't lose, and Georgia Tech did lose to Gonzaga.

All of sudden Maryland isn't a top 25 team? Hofstra hasn't lost a game, but you just decided to pull them out?

Alabama beats a terrible Tennesse St team and they move up 3 spots?

Who has Oregon beaten to be in the top 25? You didn't have them last week, but there wins of Fresno State (by 1) and Bethune Cookman, make you put them into the top 25?

I still don't understand why you have North Carolina lower than you had them last week? If you thought they were a #7 team last week, why did you drop them this week?

STC I dropped them because they haven't played due to finals. If they had played maybe one or two more games they wouldn't have dropped.

 

Gonzaga still getting no love...maybe if they played on the East Coast or earlier in the day. Apparently a double digit win over the #3 team in the nation isnt emphatic enough for some people. Not to mention that their only loss was to the #1 team.

I thought this poll was about who I think is the 25 best teams in NCAA Basketball, and I felt that Wisconsin was a top 25 team last week, but this week more teams showed me that they're better than Wisconsin like Marquette(even though they lost) and Gonzaga(beat #3 ranked Georgia Tech). I'm sorry if you feel different, and I will make sure I put A LOT more thought in my rankings next week to make them just right...

 

Shard - No UConn?
Thrilla - No Cincy?

I tried to keep some type of consistency between my rankings this week and last week...and I think I did a pretty decent job. Not sure who in all I added or dropped this week...aside from adding Texas A&M.

 

"...aside from adding Texas A&M."

I've just got to say... Texas A&M has the weakest nonconference schedule I've ever seen.
