    I wouldn't read too much into that answer. He plays games with his Twitter followers on Sunday evenings. Hard to tell if any of his comments are meant to be serious because so many of them are obviously not.
    Why should we judge a college basketball "expert" based on what he says or does? That would make no sense.

      Re: WSU moving up, he says "trying not to let them. Not fair beating up on bad teams"

      So, at least he doesn't have an hidden agenda, it's right out in the open. When you're saying things publicly like "trying not to let them" you probably should no longer have voting rights.

      Interesting that he is not OK with WSU's schedule, but is quite happy with an Indiana team that did not play a road game until conference season (KenPom NCSOS 319).
      It's not fair that WSU is stuck in a league full of imbeciles? I agree. It isn't fair. But WSU is getting punished for doing exactly what Top 15 teams should be doing? What about Gonzaga? Where does he have the Zags ranked? Who are the teams they're beating up on?

      The guy is going to be finding his way onto a WSU bulletin board real soon. Thanks in advance, Seth.

        Sounds like "Seth drinky too much" time. A perfect time period to be submitting your ballot for a major press organization's poll.

        Who lets losers like these continuously have votes in the polls year after year? Is it all about who you know? How does a voter get dismissed from voting? Is it really as kindergartenish as it plays out to be? Where's the accountability?

        • How does Seth rank a team when they lose to a terrible team...like Iowa State losing to Texas Tech...ahh thats one of those quality losses

          Comment


          • yea the same Texas Tech that lost to Loyola by 18, of the MVC

            • Hell...at this point...I'd almost as soon as wish we'd start falling in the polls every week. Perhaps by the end of February we'll be in the "also receiving votes" category with a 28-2 record. I mean if you're not gonna vote for "winning" and "consistency" then screw you. Me thinks that would work perfectly well for Coach Marshall and our Shocks come NCAA tourney time.

                  We also played our starters 107 minutes vs Drake. In the prior Valley games, starters averaged 121.75 minutes per game. And we won by 34.

                  • I expect us to get the decent sized bumped that we are waiting for if we beat UNI this week on the road. Seth Davis is probably just waiting for that. I would not be surprised if we jump a ton of spots...maybe all the way to 10 or better if we win that one. We just need to give the voters a little meat on the bone. No one is against us really. If we take 2 from UNI we will get high.

                    In the polls I mean...:)

                    • Rick Bozich keep us at 13.

                      Jerry Carino moves us up from 13 to 12.

                      BJ Rains moves us up from 13 to 12.

                      Bret Strelow moves us up from 13 to 12.

                      Geoff Grammer moves us up from 14 to 13.


                      We will either be #12 or #13 this week. It depends on whether UNC leapfrogs us.

                        Didn't Seth pull a similar act last year?

                          He likes glass ceilings. A sweep this week would shatter it.

                          • Kevin Lyttle bumps us up from 14 to 12.

                            • Wouldn't surprise me if Seth Davis has K-State ranked ahead of us one of these weeks :)

                                I agree with you that we will jump if we win this weekend. The problem is that if we lose, pollsters are going to drop us the same number of slots if we lose whether we're #10 or are like Seth and have us at #18. Seth is thinking "They haven't proven themselves yet, I think they look like a team that is number #18." But the #18 team in the country would lose to the #20 team in the country on the road the majority of times. So if we lose, he shouldn't drop us, because it just proved that he was right.

                                But if we do lose, I guarantee we drop out of his top 20.
