Normally, I don't get exercised about polls, but, this seems quite foolish. ND got absolutely wiped on their home floor by UConn, and escaped Depaul by, in the words of Prof. McGonagall, "sheer, dumb luck!" - and, they pick up a first place vote? If Geno has a vote, that's who I'd suspect...

It's funny how that first place vote gave N.D. a point total of 666. I'm just saying...........

you can't make this stuff up!

They give ND and other schools First place votes to cause controversy and dialogue.....It's done for affect. Can't be for anything else , certainly not because they actually believe ND should be #1 after getting waxed at home by the Huskies.

Or could they really be serious.

I hope it was Geno.

Just another reason for those with a vote to be required to disclose their choices. Transparency mitigates conflicts of interest.

Gotta be a conspiracy!

While discussing N Dame- and the vote they received, which is funny! I am not really seeing N Dame as anything special after the UConn game. Most of their starters just look like solid role players to me. Maybe Turner will chg my mind.
I think they will struggle down the stretch and be lucky to get to the FF. After Lloyd, I don't think Turner will be enough.
