What's unusual is he posted an article saying he had UConn at 2 but appears to have submitted his ballot with UConn at 3. But he did drop UConn one spot after yesterday.
Thanks for the link. Dylan Sinn is my favorite voter. Does not have Dook ranked at all on their ballot
It really makes no sense. Look at Duke and Kansas, Duke is 1 spot ahead. They have the same record and Kansas has played 6 ranked teams and Duke has only played 2....... So same record and 1 team has played 6 elite opponents and the other has only played 2, someone please try to make it make sense
Do you say this stuff just to say it, or do you legitimately not understand why Duke is ranked higher this week?
New Mexico is a veteran team with three quick, smaller guards who can shoot and penetrate well. Eddie House's son (6') and Jamaal Mashburn's son (6'2") as well as Dent who is much improved this year (also 6'2") ...all have scored 25 in a game at least once this year. Their center is Junior Joseph who transferred in from Iona, who played against us last year. They have a freshman power forward who is 6'9", long and very active.
Correct, Parrish does not vote in the AP Poll.
I legitimately dont understand why Duke would be ranked ahead of Kansas when looking at their overall body of work. They have same record and i think Kansas has played a much harder schedule and also think Kansas has passed the eye test better as well. I am sure if I looked through bodies of work of other teams as well I would find other things that look like inconsistencies to me
I keep saying this. Every time we take care of business, while top 10 teams lose, we create more separation between ourselves and the #2/3 seed line.
Because voters aren't starting from scratch every week. Duke won last week, while the teams ranked around them like Kansas lost so they moved up. This isn't like bracketology where voters are looking at resumes and blank slates every week, and certainly not down to the minutiae of 2 specific team's resumes
That and they were sweating out their other win this week at Division 2 Louisville until about the last 2 minutes.
....and ESPN's spin machine in full gear
Voters aren’t looking at the body of work. They’re moving teams down a few spots when they lose, depending upon how other teams around them in the rankings performed, and moving teams who were below them and didn’t lose up.
Did he come back and put you in your place by pointing out how talented Indiana is?
After watching UNC play us even though they lost by 11 i really liked them and thought if they played better defense they could be really good and theyve turned out better than i imagined. Good for us.
Its laughable. Dook is not a top 10 team. Might be borderline top 20. We`d destroy them right now at Cameron.
That’s a perfectly rational argument, and it’s hardly crazy to have Purdue as 1 and us as 2. It depends on what you value in ranking, and there is plenty of arbitrariness that is part of the process.Correct, Parrish does not vote in the AP Poll.
Here's his reasoning for voting Purdue 1 and UConn 2. I guess you can make some kind of case if you feel that way. But he's pretty complimentary of UConn.
"We were really overwhelmed," Xavier coach Sean Miller said following Sunday's 43-point loss to UConn, and boy was he right.
The Huskies won the first half by 26 and the second by 17. They shot 58.5% from the field and 58.6% from 3-point range while holding Xavier to 34.4% shooting. They. Were. Awesome. They. Are. Awesome. Which is why, as I've previously noted multiple times, I have no issue with UConn being No. 1 in the Associated Press Top 25 poll even though I do not have UConn No. 1 in the Top 25 And 1. The job Dan Hurley is doing is amazing, and he'd get my vote for National Coach of the Year right now because of the way he lost three of the top six scorers from a national championship team and immediately built another national championship contender.
Let the record show I'm a big believer in UConn — it's just that I'm also a big believer in Purdue, and that Purdue's body of work is slightly better than UConn's.
Slightly.
