American?
Oregon gets knocked out for Creighton?
At least we can conclusively say that certain posters feelings about the poll being irrevocably biased towards the PAC-12 are unfounded.

Looks good. I think Florida is a bit too low.

But I am curious to see that penn state is one. Sure they're returning national champs, but they lost a lot and we dont know how their freshman will pan out. Otherwise, Maybe switching them up with stanford, this is a pretty good poll

How do 8 people vote Wisconsin #1?
Good question would be which of these will be the first to fall out of the 25?
How does UCLA ever start a year outside the top 25? Not that this team should be in the top 25. But this program should never be outside the top 25.

I am as big a PSU fan as there is on this site, and I find them being #1 absurd.

How about some commentary for the teams receiving votes? New Mexico? UTSA with 3 votes?

I am as big a PSU fan as there is on this site, and I find them being #1 absurd. With Wisconsin and penn state, the voters focused to much on the tournament. Penn state lost 3 all Americans. Like you said, they shouldn't be 1. They might be at the end if their freshman pan out, but as of now, they should be 3-5 IMO |

I believe that is pretty much understood; my point was that their strong run in the tourney helped them in the poll, and it should have! I believe that is why the respect! GO HUSKERS |

GO HUSKERS And my point was they got respect from some coaches, but didn't get any from others. They'll definitely be a good team, but 8 first place voted is odd IMO because I don't think they're a first place team right now |

When's the last time this DIDN'T happen? |
