OT - College B-Ball rankings

Time for me to vent......

Anybody who is versed in NCAA b-ball? Please tell me how Wake jumps over Duke in the rankings when Duke didn't lose this week? Pitt was #1(they then lost to L-ville), Duke was #2(beat G-Town), Wake Forest was #3(they beat Clemson) and then jumped over Duke in the rankings to the vacated #1 spot which Pitt had. Now granted Wake is undefeated, and Duke has 1 loss. BUT, Duke has had one loss for about 6 weeks and was ahead of Wake just as long. What changed?

Rankings for last week:

For some reason I picture that instead of nice paint and framed photos, you have bracket sheets up all over the place. :shock:

I usually have about 6 going during tourney time. 3 Hypotheticals, one for predictions, one for results, and a blank one to make copies of in case I lose one. :oops:

Fine. I'm guessing that the pollsters initially put Duke in front of Wake because they didn't think Wake was for real, but after Wake went into undefeated Clemson and pissed on them they now realize that Wake is the real deal. Also, Michigan is proving themselves to be a pretty average team after a hot start and that makes the Duke loss look a bit worse. Dude, you're pretty clueless sometimes when it comes to sports. This was easy to figure out.

So basically, now College basketball is ranking teams just like College football.....that's good to know... :lol:

Florida not being in the top 25 and 16 and 2 is a travesty. Just bullshit.
