Sportsline Poll - Top 25 (and one)

[AlabamaMuskie]

Can you guess where we are ranked? Last week we were 8th.

12th?

The CBS Sportsline poll is bogus: Case in point, Notre Dame is ranked 10th, but all other polls last week have them at 19th or 20th.

Duke loses @ home and falls zero spots.
Louisville loses on the road and moves up two spots.
X loses on the road and falls 4 positions.

Big six BIAS!

Exactly why I refuse to get all worked up about the seed. It ain't fair but it is reality.

Yes and no.

#4 Duke lost at home to higher-ranked #2 North Carolina.

#11 Louisville lost to higher-ranked #7 G'town on the road.

#9 Xavier lost to much lower-ranked #54 SJU on the road.

So, we're the only one of the 3 teams that lost to a team 45 spots below it in the RPI. The other two lost to higher-ranked, top 10 teams. Hence, the difference in how the teams were treated in the poll.

consider it a gift..X plays best when they're dropped in polls..just makes them climb back up..
