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?

Welcome back to THE Basketball Poll

As you now know, THE Basketball Poll is back.  However, it's back with a vengence.  This year, I have added a twist to the former pure formula; the humans have an input.  And here is how it works.

(Barring a low turnout)
I will have 9 of America's best bloggers to join me in the human portion of the poll
     --Max points a team can recieve from human: 250.

I will do my formula from last year, with a twist
     --AP points jump from 25 for 1st to 250 (to accomodate human poll)
     --Win/Losses jump from 1/2 (1st 8 games) to 10/20 (to accomodate)

This way, no one can kill me for having Wisconsin #1.  (Oh boo hoo, tarlerheelsbrough)

To apply for the role of the human poll, do one of the following:
     --e-mail me at chorizo245@hotmail.com, with your FOXBlog name and a paragraph describing why you should be a factor (if I get more than 9 applicants)
     --leave a comment with your e-mail address and a good couple sentences describing why you should be a factor (if I get more than 9 applicants)
     --If you forget you FOXBlog name (e-mail) or your e-mail address (Comment), you are disqualified.

Remember, EVERYBODY HATES WISCONSIN!  (Yeah Illinois beats Wisconsin, we drop 14.  Stanford beats USC, they drop 7.  Does that even make sense?)
