Ask UNI fans, they're pissed that they aren't receiving votes. But when they beat UTA, Iowa State and Xavier the next 3 games, there's no way they'll not be in the top 25. Delusion at it's finest!
Its a good landing if you can walk away, its a great landing if the plane can be reused the next day.

You know what's awesome? This new comment system. Any personal bickering and name calling that would otherwise derail a thread is all in the comments under a post. Easy to skip and stay on topic while reading. I'm liking this new Shockernet experience.
Now back to making fun of pollsters.

Unfortunately after this week our upward trajectory is gonna stall out. Michigan State and Duke don’t play any teams with a pulse for a month. Villanova has to play Temple but I’m not optimistic about Temple’s chances in that one.

"College basketball rankings: Top 25 (and 1) gets a reset after losses by Kansas, Florida" - CBS Sports
Recent huge upsets mean it's time to hit the reset button on the Top 25 (and 1)
by Gary Parrish

"I spent this space at the top of Wednesday morning's CBS Sports Top 25 (and one) explaining how I hate bad losses more than I like good wins, and that my rankings typically reflect that reality. It was my way of justifying/rationalizing omitting teams like Purdue, Notre Dame, Arizona and Minnesota. All four teams are good, I think. But they all also have sub-75 KenPom losses. So I booted them.
It was a reasonable approach at the time.
But then Kansas and Florida took sub-75 KenPom losses on Wednesday night, at which point I had a problem. Because now there aren't enough rankable teams without sub-75 KenPom losses to fill 26 spots. Consequently, there's no perfect way to update the Top 25 (and one). I acknowledge that. I figured it out pretty quickly. So what I did late Wednesday/early Thursday was take a completely fresh look and ranked teams with little regard for where I had them Wednesday morning -- which, to be clear, isn't normally the way I do things. What I did here was try to rank teams in a way that still respects the results of games -- meaning I can't just keep Kansas in the top 10 with that loss to Washington. But, frankly, it seems insane to not have Kansas anywhere in the Top 25 (and one). So I wanted the rankings to acknowledge that as well.
What you see below is the result.
Here's the updated Top 25 (and one)
1. Duke
2. Michigan State
3. Villanova
4. North Carolina
5. Wichita State
6. Kentucky
7. Miami
8. Texasm A&M
9. West Virginia
10. Virginia
Others:
15. Cincinnati
17. Baylor
24. Kansas
26. Notre Dame..."
