Um, dumbfuck? I didn't title the thread "Syracuse is Underrated" because they beat UNC, I gave it that title because Syracuse was underrated. As
far as I'm concerned, they're STILL underrated at 5.
The National Championship will be all orange this year. Texas vs. Syracuse. One of either Kentucky or Kansas will not make the Final 4. Carolina sucks this year. We get it. We won't get into the losses being to ranked teams (except that clusterfuck in Charleston, a team who will probably make the tourney as the Southern Conference winner), including 3 of the top 5, or the injuries, or the lack of senior leadership. Turnovers are killing them, plain and simple. When they don't turn the ball over, they win, and when they do turn the ball over, they still manage to compete (loss @ KY by 2, win over Michigan State) at least some of the time. Today they came back to take the lead against a ranked team who had them down 20 fucking points. That's why they won't drop out of the top 25 this week. If they lose to Wake Forest, they'll drop WAY out, but look for them to be around the 21-22 mark come Monday. |

It doesn't matter who the losses are to, if you have 6 losses at this time, you shouldn't be in the Top 25.
And anyone who has watched UNC can see that they aren't a Top 25 team anyway. |

You don't seem to grasp the "strength of schedule" concept, and how that relates to the rankings. But then you don't seem to grasp much of
anything.

I don't mind UNC hanging around 22 or lower (preferably lower) in the Top 25 in Monday's poll, but it is pretty ridiculous if UNC winds up staying in
the teens with 6 losses.
Similarly, Purdue better drop to about 15 or so after these three straight losses. Conference play can be brutal, but it's not so brutal that recent losses should not show up in the rankings at all. Otherwise, what is the point of having weekly rankings? |

they're the defending champs. 6 wins and in the Top 25 is ludricious by anyone's standards. There are 10 teams that should be ahead of them, and
should have been weeks ago.
Syracuse and Purdue will need to continue to prove they deserve to be considered alongside Texas, Kansas and Kentucky...Purdue isn't rising to the
challenge right now. But I abhor Kentucky right now. Abhor.

Their schedule has been shit, with maybe two exceptions, though you all seem to think one of those teams (the one they beat by 2, on their own court) shouldn't be ranked, which gave Kentucky exactly ONE good win before the conference season started. Kansas lost to an undermanned Tennessee squad, after squeaking by an unranked opponent. Their schedule hasn't exactly been tough so far. Texas is just nasty, Syracuse has already leapt 19 spots in the polls after starting 24th (and that's with a tough loss), and both teams have played quality opponents. There's no way Kentucky could handle either team, and Kansas wouldn't be the automatic favorite against either. As far as UNC goes, look at their schedule, and look at the rankings of their opponents. They beat a couple of ranked teams, kept it really close with a couple of others, and got blown out by a few. If they're beating ranked teams, and staying competitive with others, a couple of stinkers against other ranked teams doesn't knock them out of the Top 25, it just means they aren't at the top of the fucking list this season. How hard is that to understand? Even the haters seem to expect UNC to win 30 games and make the Final Four every season. You gotta love it. |

They jumped 19 fucking spots in the two weeks the thread had that title, imbecile. The pollsters agreed with me.
Speaking of polls, UNC is still in the top 25 in both. Heh. |

Jim Calhoun to take a medical leave from UConn Program effective now

That sucks. I think Coach Blaney is older than Coach Calhoun. Kentucky is the easy number 1 team in the nation. Until Ashley Judd stops going to games, they will always be number 1. |

She is easy on the eyes. Too bad the rest of the KY fans are inbred clueless hicks.
No thoughts on Texas losing to KState? Anyone? Bueller? How about that GT/Clemson game? |

My thought is yay. Helps Kansas out in the conference race.
