If you actually look past the loss to Marshall (which is a stunner), WVU really does deserve to be a top 10 team. They're undefeated in Big East play, and it's just fucking beautiful to watch them execute.

1/30/2006 1:19:36 PM

but you cant move a team up in the rankings after they lose to a team like that

1/30/2006 1:20:38 PM

West Virginia desereved a high ranking last week... not this week.

1/30/2006 1:21:33 PM

So you can't correct a mistake? They've been underrated all season. They deserve to be high up despite one slip.

1/30/2006 1:28:24 PM

They Lost to MARSHALL

Formula for ranking State in the AP poll:

(ESPN Ranking) + (Randomly select a number 0-4)

1/30/2006 2:36:16 PM

17/18 and no UNC in either. I will take it.

1/30/2006 2:38:13 PM

im suprised they couldn't squeeze UNC into the top 25 again

1/30/2006 2:41:39 PM

I know Georgetown got a couple really good wins

but 17 out of nowhere? cmon

Nowhere?

1/30/2006 2:51:28 PM

oh wow

i didnt realize they were ranked last week. my bad.

1/30/2006 2:52:42 PM

What is up with GW at 10? Who cares if they only have one loss, they haven't beaten anyone and we kicked their ass.

1/30/2006 3:02:48 PM

Seton Hall has 1 less vote than Kansas.

^^^I think what he's saying is that 2 weeks ago, nobody thought about Georgetown. They weren't ranked before last week.

1/30/2006 3:09:41 PM

Why the hell is GW 10th? These mid-majors make me sick. Northern Iowa sucks too.

1/30/2006 3:38:30 PM

Wow a shitty mid-major is now ranked 5th. A team who plays NOBODY and loses their one game to a ranked team by 21 is 10th. I could go on. These polls are terrible. Good thing there is no BCS in basketball.

1/30/2006 3:51:47 PM

they did beat maryland

1/30/2006 4:14:39 PM

^ So did Temple. The same Temple that lost by like 9,000 to UMass.

1/30/2006 4:31:39 PM

so wtf is up with Northern Iowa?

i thought George Washington had more than their 1 loss to us...hope they dont lose again all year!

We are 2nd in the ACC to Duke. Fire Herb. We should be ahead of the #2 team in the country.

1/30/2006 6:47:52 PM

what i don't understand is how you can rank BC 3 spots above us yet they have the same record as us, and we blew them out on their home court.

1/30/2006 7:01:03 PM

Because we were embarrassed by Seton Hall on our own court while B.C. went to Chapel Hill and won?

just a guess...

1/30/2006 7:02:27 PM

yeah when you defeat the all mighty UNC on thier home court you deserve to jump a few spots in the poll

1/30/2006 7:11:56 PM

wow. we are the only team with 16 or more wins with that bad of a ranking

1/30/2006 7:21:39 PM

^Iowa

1/30/2006 10:00:26 PM

We have no bad losses

1/31/2006 12:20:22 AM

1/31/2006 1:40:31 AM

gg

^^last week?

1/31/2006 1:41:41 AM

Wake's red line may cross their green one before long. That's not good.

1/31/2006 1:46:39 AM

wow I know syracuse sucks, but they went from being #25 to NO VOTES WHATSOEVER

shows you how crappy the polls are, especially before teams play real games

1/31/2006 2:46:26 AM

no official polls yet

but CBS.sportsline moved us down 4 spots to #22 after a 2 win week in the acc

they said it was because both of our losses were "close", yet they never alter duke's ranking for close games

also moved Oklahoma ahead of us, from not previously ranked going 1-1 last week

2/6/2006 11:49:44 AM

^ you mean wins?

2/6/2006 11:55:28 AM

^^ The CBS Sportsline poll must be compiled solely by that ass clown Doyle. Thank goodness nobody actually goes to cbs sportline.

2/6/2006 12:02:06 PM

^i agree, i just always see that one first on monday morning and it always pisses me off

^^and yes, i meant wins

2/6/2006 12:08:08 PM

http://www.sportsline.com/collegebasketball/polls/top25

yea cbssportsline is a joke....they are basically saying that b/c we didnt win by much we should drop....a win is a win



haha and Michigan jumps to 23rd in this poll after not being ranked last week and then getting killed by Iowa
