Why did Oregon State move up after losing at home? Stanford drops after getting crushed by Oregon, ok. But then they beat Oregon State, who moves up? Is beating OSU beating a winless in conference Cal that impressive? I know these polls can be wacky, but still, is anyone paying attention out there? |
Oregon St moved up despite losing 40 pts in the voting. Others must have lost more. The possible loss of Jones may also have factored in however I doubt many of the voters were even aware of that.

UCLA’s loss to USC was much worse than Ore St’s narrow loss to Stanford (who was and still is ranked higher). UCLA was lucky not to get punished more. So when UCLA dropped 3 spots, the 3 teams under UCLA moved up 1 spot. It’s the science of math. Losing to a higher ranked team doesn’t necessarily drop that team in the rankings, unless a large MOV calls for it.

Evidently, someone in the other poll (writer's poll) thinks the Stony Brook Seawolves belongs in the top 30. The leader in America East at 19-1 they have not faced higher tier competition with their only loss to Arkansas. Didn't know they are part of the SUNY system.

so Gonzaga continues to climb even though they have beaten nobody in particular (best win Purdue). Shows the great inertia in voting. Beating nobodies is more important than losing to top teams.

That's always the way. Once you get in the poll you only move down if you lose and move up as others above you lose. Look at DePaul, about to move into the top 10 as those above them lose. And Baylor, who has no ranked opponents in their remaining games.

Not a lot of movement in today’s poll.
AZ up 4 to #12
MD up 4 to #13
DEP down 3 to #14
FSU down 3 to #17
Nobody fell off and no new entries.

when you look at the 'others getting votes' you realize why they pretty much are left just re-arranging the chairs. I don't mean to harp on this because I hope the Zags do well, but they really should have dropped about another 8 places. They have no bad losses except this last one, but they also have no really good wins.

No no no. I don't want to be in the top 4. And we really don't deserve to be there!

The pollsters were so impressive by Stanford needing a major choke-job to beat Colorado and Louisville having just recently lost to Flordia State and Syrcause and beating the same team unranked Georgia Tech beat, they just had to have them both jump UConn.

UConn that didn't put South Florida away until the 4th quarter after continuing their theme of getting blown out by every good they play against South Carolina?

No ACC team should be in the top 10 IMHO. VERY VERY down year for the league. Duke is 4th in the ACC. 'Nuff said. Only 3 ACC teams deserve to be in the NCAA tourney this year and 3 is being lenient.

No AAC team should be in the top 10. The conference sucks. Only the AAC champ should be in the tournament.

Maybe we should just have a 32 team tourney since nobody deserves to be in it!

If UConn’s resume this season belonged to another team do you think that team would be ranked as high as UConn with the same seeding predictions?

IMO UConn would probably be, as of right now, either the worst 2 seed or a 3 seed if they were any other team.
