Been a few upsets as of late in the NCAA. Got to think it really will make the tournament interesting.

Tell me how Virginia is #1 now? Villanova is still 3rd?! Oklahoma is still ranked?! What in the actual fuck?!

-- Virginia: 23-2. Leads ACC by 2 games. Has 8 wins over teams listed in latest Bracketology.
-- MSU: 24-3. Tied for 2nd place in Big Ten. Has 2 wins over teams listed in latest Bracketology.

Yeah, this is why I'm interested in hearing who he thinks should be #1.

 

[Yo Tee]

Who do you think should be #1?

Michigan State. No doubt. They didn't lose this week. Virginia lost. How do they move up a spot? Michigan State beat the #3 team in the country.

Virginia: Lost last week to an unranked opponent.
Michigan State: Didn't lose last week and had tougher opponents.

If you lose a game, you shouldn't move up in the rankings. That makes absolutely no sense, especially when the team ranked behind you won both those games including against a ranked Purdue team. Virginia lost to an unranked team.

Virginia lost and is still #1 in RPI, while MSU is #14. MSU has played an extremely weak SOS. UVA is 4-0 against teams currently in the top 10 RPI. MSU doesn't have a single opponent in the RPI top 10.

Virginia lost to an unranked Virginia Tech team last week while Michigan State was beating a top 3 team. If you are #2 and you lose a game to an unranked opponent, you don't move up to #1. Sorry, but that's my opinion.

Well, your opinion sucks.

 

[Yo Tee]

Well, your opinion sucks.

Likewise.

Edit: As scrolling back up, I saw that you're a homer. Makes sense why you're so sensitive to my opinion haha.

 

[FORKWDEVIL]

all I know is my 25 SunDevils will beat 17 Wildcats in Tempe on Thursday night!

No, numnuts, you just can't accept the fact that the voters don't look at individual games, they look at the body of work. How exactly am I being a homer? There are Notre Dame and Villanova fans on this very board that agree with me.

Oh shit....You're the guy who flips out over stupid, petty shit. Did you notice the "haha" at the end of my sentence? It was a joke. Jesus fucking christ.

Man, you really are clueless.

 

[Yo Tee]

Man, you really are clueless.

You need to learn how to take a joke and stop taking things so seriously. Lighten up dude.

You need to not get so upset because the cbb rankings didn't go like you wanted.

Good one.

This logic is horrible. We should make Michigan State #1, despite Virginia having a much better resume? The season is longer than one week.

I don't care that your UVa team has 5 more top 50 wins than Michigan State. I don't care that UVa actually leads their conference, while Michigan State doesn't. You're just a homer trying to prop your team up at the expense of the rightful #1 team, Michigan State! The rankings should just be based on one week, not the entire season. You're just a homer, @jeffro151!

Virginia may have the better resume, but they lost to an unranked team while Michigan State was beating a team ranked higher than them.

You also are making it seem like I'm crazy in my thinking yet Michigan state got 21 first place votes. Also, Michigan State is #1 in the coaches poll. So don't act like I am crazy in my way of thinking because there are AP voters and NCAA D-1 coaches that feel the same way that I do. You can disagree all you want but at least be respectful about it. I was.

I even made a joke that apparently people on this side of the forum can't take. So don't fault me over you guys having sticks up your asses and can't take a joke.
