OK, I've reached my limit. Davis is wrong to let his political beliefs interfere with his polling duties but I've had enough of our posters interjecting their beliefs into this thread. I know plenty of brainwashed right-wing morons to go along with the brainwashed left-wingers. Stop it already.

John Feinstein has us at #12 in his poll. Smart man. He's watch a little WSU basketball I bet.

Only 8 people left us off ballots this week. 2 of them were the CBS guys (Davis and Rothstein)

Agreed. The end.

He appears to be a very adamant support of non-power schools. Here are some quotes from his twitter yesterday.

And pls. don't cite top 50 or top 100 wins or losses. Good mid-majors can't get games--even roadies most of the time--with good teams.

Steve Lappas tells story about getting Manhattan job when Jaspers were 1-27. Had more than 100 messages from coaches, 'hey let's play.'

Three years later, after they'd won 24 games, "no one would return my phone call." Sums it up nicely...Feinstein out. Gotta get some sleep.

My guess is Seth Davis probably doesn't even have good understanding of what the Koch Brothers politics are nor does he probably have a clue exactly how much Koch money has contributed to Wichita State vs other academic institituions and other charitable endeavors. All he knows is that the Koch Brothers are worth a sh$t ton of money and the Koch name is on our arena. He probably assumes, like many others do as well, that Koch money is funding 95% of our athletic budget and paid for 100% of the Roundhouse Rennaisssance. I'm pretty sure that is not even close to accurate. Heck has David Koch ever even attended a WSU basketball game?

Seth also knows that in the circles he runs in that he can gain cool points by bashing the dastardly Koch Brothers even though he probably has no clue as to what he is talking about or exactly why they are such evil people. But he does have a podium to shout from so that right there makes him credible I guess.

Not sure I would get too worked up about it. It is what it is. Unfortunately, we tend to give guys like Seth Davis and Jerry Palm exactly what they want. Attention and to be noticed and to be responded to in any way, shape or form as long as they can count it.

I'm sure he knows who the Kochs are and their political leanings. Seth's dad is Lanny Davis who was a special counselor for President Bill Clinton and a huge Hillary supporter. Based upon his tweets I am sure he is biased and the WSU link with the Kochs has some influence.

I'm sure he thinks he knows.

Guess I'm in the minority here (or just too old)...but I love it when a talking head slips and shows his or her "true colors". Makes it easier for me to like or not like. Slip away Seth... ;)

Saw this on Twitter; warning, 'click' at your own risk. Possibly the perfect Halloween costume for SD.

Food for thought: Championship game on Sunday is on CBS. The CBS polling "experts" are the ones dismissing us the most (Rothstein, Davis, Palm). You think that won't be bulletin board material for our guys this weekend?

They are on Saturday afternoon too.

Well said. Do your friggin job, which has nothing to do with your personal political beliefs. I may think Baylor University is trash for all the terrible things the school has been involved in over the last decade, but that CANNOT get in the way of whether or not I think Baylor has a good basketball team and bias my top 25 vote. One has NOTHING to do with the other.

Absolute garbage that Seth Davis would tweet that about WSU and Koch. Brainwashed left-wing morons who believe everything they read from biased media with political axes to grind.

You had me up until the last sentence. You're doing the exact ****ing thing as Davis except from the opposite side and you're applying it to potentially hundreds of thousands instead of one or two specific people.

??????????

Train wreck!

Sad!

Hey,

Uh...

I bet Virginia passes us next week.

[CopperShox]

This commentary blows my mind.

Stop letting all of the political BS get in the way of what is important. The more we let political "parties" define us the weaker and dumber we all become.

Life is a team sport. Right now 3G would bench all of us!
