I think there might be a chance it was just a mistake. Seems more than odd.

Pretty coincidental mistake.

I think there's a chance he will say it was a "mistake." A KU guy "forgetting" to rank WSU on his ballot the week KU is expected to drop below WSU is a bit too big of a coincidence for me.

Yes, he will most definitely say it was a mistake. His only other option is to say that he actually thinks we aren't deserving to be in the top 25, and after he had us at #13, that obviously isn't the case. There is absolutely no chance that it was a mistake, though. He's seriously going to have us believe he left off the only other relevant team from his own state? Yeah, right!

[Metalkatz]

With guys like @TomKeeganLJW having us go from 13th to unranked.

Tweet at this dude and let him try to defend it.

Twitter fight! I'm in

Keegan dropped

Wichita State #13
UCLA #16
Florida State #18

and added

North Carolina #16
Colorado #20
Missouri #24

[SHOCKvalue]

There's no angle from which Keegan can defend this rationally. Either he straight-up forgot about a F4 team from his own state from one week to the next, or he thought a lone 13 point win over a reasonably decent team was worthy of some sort of poll contempt.

How are poll points calculated, exactly? Is it 25 minus poll ranking for each voter, and then all voters totaled?

[shocks771]

Ricky, if someone votes WSU #25 they would get one point, #24 is worth two points, ect.....

They total everything from all 65 voters in the final poll.

Maybe his bonus is impacted by the volume of out-of-town letters and e-mails.

.@TomKeeganLJW doesn't have WSU on today's AP ballot, BUT #shockers wouldn't have moved up even with him voting them No. 1.

That's not the point.

[Downtown Shocker Brown]

What do these teams have in common?

Teams that play in metropolitan areas vs. college towns?

The mistake will be forgiven with a #1 ranking next week. :good:
