Hoop Week 5 Top 25 Discussion Thread

After we beat Kentucky we should be ranked in the Top 5.

You just gettin crazy now. I think I have them @ 14. I could see moving them to 12th for now.

There were SEC game threads? Damn, that's what I get for staying on the OU threads all day. Missed all the drama.

Auburn should be ranked #17 in your system. Where are we?

They would be if they had made the nominees list (Coaches Poll Top 35).

I'm not counting your poll

This is not to create any conflict but I don't see, outside Miami and Florida that crazy of a poll with TJ.

I agree. However, he admitted to submitting a ballot that was meant to offset the biases of other people. That's not how the polls should work. If he doesn't defend his rankings and doesn't even think order them the way they should be, it shouldn't be used.

Welcome to the world of opinion polls, you honestly believe this doesn't happen in the AP or coaches polls?

Exactly, and we're starting to get enough votes that one or two crazy polls won't even change the final count by that much.

Sure, but people complain about some of the ballots submitted for those as well...

So what do you suggest be done? You aren't going to change them and like CK said, with enough voters it all comes out in the wash anyway.

I never said you were alone. The difference in the SH poll and that poll is that I can ask you why you voted the way you did. I can ask why you ranked Florida but not teams like Houston, Northern Illinois, Pittsburgh, Nebraska, Auburn, Ole Miss, Arizona, Northern Illinois, Ohio, and East Carolina with similar or better resumes. It's a lot like the AP poll because I get no answers lol.

And, you are alone in ranking Florida ahead of Miami

I don't think anything should be done. I just wish he would explain why he felt Florida should be so high, higher than other teams with similar resumes, and higher than a team that beat them. As long as people support their rankings I don't care.

exactly! youre telling me everyone that didnt even rank them at all did so with no bias?? BS.

Yeah...They're resume isn't one of the 25 best.

Serious question: Did anybody see the Miami-Florida game and get the impression that Miami was better than Florida?

Maybe I am strange, but I thought that (despite the final score) Florida looked like the clearly better team who just made too many boneheaded mistakes. And at least some of those mistakes were unforced. Considering that Florida hasn't made that many mistakes sense and there defense still seems taut as ever, I don't see any problem with Tabasco's poll. I could point to fifteen or twenty rankings in other people's polls that make less sense. Hell, that's not even the biggest problem in his own poll (the Michigan ranking is).

smart summed it up well....
