[UConnCat]

Duke picks up a vote. Funny.

how did Duke pick up a vote with their play at Cal? they won but it wasn't like they blew them out of the building. at this point, UCONN should be unanimous until another team steps up and proves otherwise.

 

[Coler]

No votes for RU yet. Just gotta keep winning then..

 

[Biff]

And a second school in the state received (a) vote(s)! Go Bobcats!

Harold Gutman who writes for the Durham Herald gave Duke a #1 Vote.

For some reason I couldn't use the Link option.

Thanks. I assumed the lone dissenter was a local (Durham) writer.

Good for Duke. We get to play them so after that game, there should be no dissenters, regardless of who wins...

Meh. I'm not outraged, but that's not the same as agreeing.

I get that beating a top ten team on their home court by double-digits is an accomplishment.

Probably did that because he knew once they play UCONN the situation will be clear.

Just win, baby! I'm far more excited about playing Duke and Stanford this season than I am worrying about how anyone votes in the interim. Lone exception: I'm still incredibly curious as to who had Tennessee #1 in the USA Today/Coaches Poll

I know a lot of fans, including writers, are homers but one thing I find really instructive. If you look at ESPN's national map of how fans have voted for who they think is currently the number 1 rated team, Connecticut scores number 1 in 49 states. Only fans in Tennessee think someone other than the Huskies are currently the best. Who would have thunk it?

It explains LadyVol9's idea of what a Tennessee fan is or isn't. Amazing.

I love it when you quote Al Davis!

These are your golden years don't sweat the little stuff.

The Jimmy V Classic game at Duke on December 17 will change his mind.

Of course in the last few years the quote was amended to " Just win, One, baby"

Not necessarily.

 

[wes33]

I think you are in mist of the greatest run our game will ever see. Credit Geno in a league all a by himself.

''For me, the preseason poll is an educated guess. I think on-court results should carry much more importance,'' said Gutmann, who covers North Carolina for the Durham Herald-Sun. ''Duke going on the road and beating a top-10 team by double digits (I had Cal at No. 4) is by far the most impressive win of the opening weekend. I think the Blue Devils deserve to be No. 1 until another team shows it is capable of a similar performance. Certainly the UConn-Stanford winner will have a strong case to be No. 1 next week.''

Umm.. really? I'm not sure what the proper response to this gibberish is...

 

[reno tony]

Not necessarily.

You are correct oh seer of all. In my narrow minded view I only considered the possibility that UCONN would win.

Eighty Four to go!!!​

I think it's coo coo coo coo......

Having Cal as number 4?

How transparent. He had them ranked higher than anyone else because they were going to play Duke.

What a jerk.
