New Teams:
(Now #16) Virginia
(Now #21) Clemson
(Now #22) Syracuse
(Now #24) Florida

Dropped Teams:
(Then #10) Stanford
(Then #19) Arkansas
(Then #22) Arizona
(Then #24) North Carolina State

Teams Not Mentioned Receiving Consideration:
USC (7.9%)

Few Notes of Wisdom:
-- Every single number, stat, and record is as if the games never happpened Monday or Tuesday night, and only the polls came out.

-- The previous category is based on where you were before the first game of that week.

-- With (5) Georgetown and (6) Tennessee, Georgetown does rank higher, even though the
one decimal place does not show that.  Georgetown beats Tennessee by .01.

-- With (24) Florida and (25) Southern Illinois, Florida does rank higher, even though the
one decimal place does not show that.  Florida beats Southern Illinois by .06.

--If you do the math, the jump from 5th to 11th won't work.  This is because Stanford is still
Tied for 5th, even though they are not in the Top 25.

--If you do the math, the jump from 11th to 19th won't work.  This is because Georgia is still Tied for 11th, even though they are not in the Top 25.

--You must have a positive percentage to "Receive Consideration."

Another week, another shocker.
THE Shocker of the Week, Presented by Pontiac©: (10) Stanford went into Mercer going for a 2-Point win and a huge boost in the poll.  However, they lost, 79.67.

Any Questions?

Hey, who doesn't want a new edition of the greatest poll on Earth?

New Teams: (Now #20) Butler
                        (Now #23) Villanova

Dropped Teams: (Then #18) USC
                                (Then #20) Kentucky

Receiving Consideration: (5.2%) Syracuse

Few Notes of Wisdom:
-- Every single number, stat, and record is as if the games never happpened last night, and only the polls came out.
-- The previous category is based on where you were before the first game of that week.
-- Since there is very little difference between points so far, there are a crapload of ties.
-- You MUST be in the Top 25 in either poll (Sorry Wisconsin) to enter any consideration.
-- Even though Syracuse made the Top 25 (As well as other teams), it did not have a high enough ranking to make the Top 25.
-- All future ranking numbers in other posts will be that week's position in my poll.

Another week, another shocker.
THE Shocker of the Week: OJ Mayo scores 32, but previously #18 USC loses to Mercer, 96-81.

Any Questions?

Wow.  I didn't know about this.  I am REALLY not in it.

Seriously, could ANYONE be more biased AGAINST Wisconsin?  I mean, we're 3rd in the nation, but NO, we get a flipping two seed behind Florida.  And UCLA, who LOST in the QUARTERS.  And NC.  I mean, AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ah.  That's better.  So, Wisconsin will beat OSU, get the two seed, OSU gets #1 overall, and all will be right with the world.

Oh, and I'm sticking to my theory that Wisconsin will not win the Championship if we do not get the #1 Midwest seed.   Why?   According to ESPN/Fox Sports, the Midwest sorta sucks.  And, the East and South are loaded.

I love this time of year.  If the Blog of Fame picks College Sports, I hope I get nominated.  I'll have a field day with this.

Let's get more of this stuff out of the way.  Kansas won't win it all, UCLA, Florida, North Carolina, and Ohio State are WAYYYYYY overhyped, and Wisconsin gets no love.

Granted, they might be better, but it's like USC the past three years.  It's the Colts.  It's the Pistons.  The overhype always screws you over (the Super Bowl was a fluke, they shouldn't have won the AFC Championship).  I can guarantee that UCLA/FLA/NC/OSU will NOT win it all.  Wisconsin probably won't either.

However, a Midwest #1 for Wisconsin, and we hit the Final Four.

Oh, and all 4 #1 seeds have only made the Sweet Sixteen together 4 times since '79.

So, there goes OSU, Kansas, and Memphis.
