Illinois over Tennessee 3-2 two consecutive times. Updated on OP. Which begs the question: Is Illinois overrated or is Tennessee underrated? No way of knowing. (I know that's not what begs the question means. Leave me alone.) As of right now, with all of the injuries, Illinois is overrated. If they were full health, I would say Tennessee and Illinois were accurately rated

(I know that's not what begs the question means. Leave me alone.) No way of knowing but I suspect both of them are underrated if the applicable ratings are the pre-season polls. And I'm not going to say anything about Minnesota, Kentucky, BYU, Marquette, Baylor, Creighton, USD, Cal Poly, Utah, Washington State, Louisville, Arizona, Florida State, Florida State, Hawaii, Colorado State, or Iowa, so don't ask!

ratings talks are silly this early...this is a conversation for late Oct & early Nov. Especially considering the only good a rating is for is to enable someone to calculate RPI for entering into the tournament seeded.

(I know that's not what begs the question means. Leave me alone.) Watching them, I think Tennessee was underrated. Those are two quality teams.

Especially considering the only good a rating is for is to enable someone to calculate RPI for entering into the tournament seeded. There are a number of posters who are pollsters in the VT Poll, the RK poll and the AVCA poll. Those VT members choosing to remain pollsters have no choice but to rank the teams, like it or not.

They may beg to differ but they are far less accurate 😉

Congratulations to c4ndlelight for winning the first 2019 with an outstanding score of 23/25 in a week marred or blessed, depending upon your point of view, with upsets. Please PM me if you want to know your score if it is not included above. If my score is not included above, then I don't want to know it.

Please PM me if you want to know your score if it is not included above. If my score is not included above, then I don't want to know it. Rumi or another Sufi would remind you not to compare yourself with others... Nonetheless, your 19 correct picks puts you in the top tier and above the RichKern, AVCA and last year's final Pablo picks.
