Week 11 AP Poll

[Hankster]

The coaches poll dropped ESPN (could've been the other way around, not sure) a few years ago, ESPN uses the AP rankings now. Just the USA today Coaches Poll now.

Obviously I didn't know that. Thanks for the update. I thought it was business as usual without checking first.

Sorry, you have losses to Monmouth and Alabama, you have only one single decent OOC victory, you have 5 losses, I don't care if you play offense like Westhead's Denver Nuggets, but you should not be getting any votes.

They really don't have any bad losses. Even a team like Alabama is top 40 in the RPI with wins over Wichita State and South Carolina to their name. Monmouth has beaten UCLA and USC and played Dayton to the wire. They're also far from bad.

When you can notch a victory on a neutral court over Iowa in addition to a win in Cameron, you have a case to be ranked. Those are two of the best wins in the country. I'll also mention that they beat Stony Brook by 25, a team that is 51st in KenPom and would probably be around 30 without the loss to Notre Dame.

We are really reaching here when we talk of wins over Alabama, and Stony Brook, and Monmouth.

Yeah, but when you look past the names and recognize the quality of basketball those teams are playing, it makes more sense.

Two Big East teams in the top-5, pretty good.

Print the tshirts!!!!!

You think Vandy football fans go to Florida State message boards to brag about Alabama and LSU? Do you seem how strange your presence is here? Very creepy.

As an Alum, we definitely don't. I distinctly remember taking it right up the arse from Spurrier every year.

Because that's what "pretty good" means.

When I look at Monmouth, I see a really good low major that is capable of upsetting good teams. But only WHEN those good teams overlook them. It's like UConn v. New Hampshire earlier this year. If New Hampshire had been Monmouth, UConn might have had another loss. Granted, Georgetown should have had plenty of forewarning given the previous two upsets, but I mean, Monmouth has actually lost to Army. Army!!!

Strange - just strange
PeeCee written all over it

Someone I ignore must be posting because I don't see any odd posts. Love that feature.

???

UConn didn't get any votes, and i have no issues with the lack of them.

Did you happen to read the thread and look at the polls? If so, you would see they did.

Try a little harder next time: http://espn.go.com/mens-college-basketball/rankings

AP Poll no vote, ND not votes in Coaches. AP is obviously the one to watch, more accurate

Neither matter at the end of the day, but if that helps you out sure.

Somehow they're ranked 12 in the USA Today. They'll fall out of the AP if the voters are paying attention.

The New Big East , sono morti per me

Wow. Are you seriously dense about this? The Coaches vote is filled in by people who don't even bother. All sorts of craziness, like Duke at #12. It's like this every week. A complete joke. You knew very well what I was saying about the relative usefulness of both polls.

The only dense one is you, but I expect this type of non-sense from you as well.

Hey man, I have no problem with Stony Brook being included in the "strength of schedule" considerations. lol
