BY25 poll #8: *Results are in*

[Plebe]

Number of 1st-place votes shown in parentheses:

Also receiving votes (on at least two ballots): UCF 34, Florida Gulf Coast 22, South Florida 11, Duke 8, Rhode Island 4, Ole Miss 3, Kansas 3.

The following teams appeared on only one ballot, thus falling short of "receiving votes": Gonzaga, Arizona State, Kansas State, Villanova, Liberty, DePaul, Stephen F. Austin, Missouri.

Thank you to all who voted. Nineteen ballots were submitted.

Poll #9 will be Monday, February 28, 2022.

Guess the luxury of just about everybody in the top 25 losing is that no one can slide all that far in two weeks! I actually found this week harder than usual because after the first four it's kind of a mess. (Clearly others agreed since there's a gaping chasm between #4 and #5).

Not sure about others, but with all this noise, I'm finding myself weighing good wins more heavily than bad losses. My time tested observation is that teams with good wins but bad losses do better in March/April than teams with neither, so I'm starting to punish teams with lofty W-L records but who haven't beat anybody worth a darn, or haven't done so since Omicron was just another Greek letter...

Let the record show that I was not one of the voters who cast a vote for Duke. Unfortunately we are leaking oil like my old 1989 Plymouth
