I looked up the resumes of the other last 5 in and the next 5 out and I like the way WSU stacks up against them (numbers from warren nolan nitty gritty report):

St. John's rpi 59, 2-5 against top 50, no bad losses but played 12 games against teams 201+

Michigan St. rpi 48, 2-6 against top 50, 1 bad loss (201+)

SE Louisiana rpi 54, 6-3 against top 50, 1 bad loss

Gonzaga, rpi 46, 3-10 against top 50, 1 bad loss

WSU, rpi 44, 6-7 against top 50, 0 bad losses

Georgia, rpi 50, 10-18 against top 50, 1 bad loss

Tulane, rpi 58, 4-10 against top 50, 2 bad losses

Stetson, rpi 53, 1-5 against top 50, 2 bad losses

Auburn, rpi 56, 11-17 against top 50, 0 bad losses

Samford, rpi 57, 4-7 against top 50, 0 bad losses

I wouldn't gripe too much if Southeastern Louisiana got in instead of us (at this point in time) but there is NO WAY St. Johns, Gonzaga or Michigan State deserve to get in ahead of us. NONE.

I'll update my "Doctology" after most of the games played today, but allow me to hammer Jeremy Mills for his inclusion of Utah Valley State as one of the last five in. Remember when ESPN started talking about Murray State being on the bubble or even OUT at 27-1 this year? Their resume was FAR stronger than UVS. There is simply no way Utah Valley State should even be in the discussion of an at large birth.

And Texas as a #2 and WSU out? I think not. He also has Michigan State and St. Johns as at larges. Both laughable.

Don't bother reading ESPN when it comes to this, they are ratards.
