Holy ****balls how is Wisconsin still rated let alone #20?! I told you there is no way they'd fall out of the rankings but figured they'd be like 24th. Just flat out stupid.

Very nice. I see those names and it's good to belong with those teams.

They have to have some way to justify a bunch of teams in the tourney from the B1G that wouldn't normally be in.

'Well they beat #20 WI that one time!'

The Big 10 is a real meat grinder. Elite stuff.

AP Voter Pat Rooney only moved Wisconsin down 1 spot from #14 to #15 after losing to two non-tourney teams.

Not only losing, but getting slapped around by a .500 team

College Poll Tracker is always amazing, there are some disasterous raters out there.

I think JB Ricks takes the cake this week for me. FAU #11, Memphis #18, USF #21 and UNC-Wilmington #25. Those are some scorching hot takes

Brian Holland and Dave Borges also deserve mentions. The highlights...

- Holland does okay through the top 13, but then Michigan State #14 (WUT?), Gonzaga #17, Texas #22, TCU #23 and South Carolina all the way down at #24
- Borges has South Carolina all the way up at #5(!), Virginia #9, Nevada #13

Kentucky is 4-5 in their last 9 games with three straight losses at home. (two were unranked, but Gonzaga and Florida aren't terrible by any means)

Their 4 wins are all over teams that are sub .500 in conference.

At this point, they have a good win over North Carolina and a win over Miami that looked better at the time. They are a 7 loss team that does not need to be in the top 25 over others, IMHO

You're forgetting the part where they are Kentucky...

 

[ClonesTwenty1]

I don’t get KU at #6 right now.

 

[coolerifyoudid]

Yep, that name is good for 4-6 spots every time

I'd rather face Kentucky right now over Clemson.

WHUT?????????????

What happened to NINER???????

Cardinal 2001, please report to the scorers' desk. Immediately.

9 Big 12 teams receiving votes. That's a meat grinder,

There’s nobody else they could use to try and mask how bad the Big 10 is it appears

That college poll tracker is fun to look at for sure.

The two who had us lowest (#14) were Alvarez from Birmingham, AL and Mettlen at Harrisonburg, VA. Mettlen is listed with ISU as his worst in terms of historical biases.

Those same two comprised Baylor's high and low at #6 (Alvarez) and #23 (Mettlen)

 

[cyclones500]

Man, those are some major oversights.

A key thing w/ poll participants .... I won't begrudge what's considered poor analysis; ran however you wanna rank. But at minimum, don't contradict your previous rankings (i.e., any movement should reflect results week-to-week.

 

[cyclones500]

I think that's ISU's highest ranking since Dec. 27, 2021, poll (#8; dropped to 11 the following week).
