1/4 Polls

So seton hall gets 4 votes but Pitt gets ranked?

Pitt has feasted on terrible teams, their best win is Syracuse right now, and being a St. John's fan I know beating Syracuse this year isn't that hard

What has Seton Hall done? 2 losses to Long Beach St and GW. best wins vs Ole Miss, Georgia, and Wichita St. Syracuse a better win than any of those. Also only 1 loss to Purdue. Current SOS Seton Hall 152, Pitt 140. Wouldn't say Seton Hall should be ranked- but it should be closer IMO.

poll voters are keeping their Big East respect to the bare minimum necessary. enough to hide their big east bias. the P5 is still getting more leverage in the polls. if the Hall was in the ACC they would be ranked with the same identical resume (20-25) and Providence would be sixth, and Butler wouldn't be 18. the P5 rises faster and falls slower than the B.E has so far (see KY, AZ, NC)

Somebody needs to check this guy's IP address and check if he is posting from a computer in Dayton, Ohio.

What the heck is that about? Dayton, OH. No thanks. Bronx, NY.

What exactly bothers you from my opinion?

Virginia goes down to unranked Virginia Tech @ Blacksburg. So much for being #4... Let's see which ACC team magically jumps into the top 10... or if Virginia doesn't even drop out of the top 10...

I'm pissed with these polls already

Wow, Virginia... that's a major loss to Virginia Tech, which is an awful team.
I'm with you on the pro-ACC bias... time for Miami of Fla to leapfrog 8 teams with a win this coming weekend at home vs RPI #90 FSU.

Is there any team in the nation that hasn't played a true road game, besides Pitt? Not "won a true road game", but actually just "competed in a true road game". If someone can justify ranking Pitt, then someone can justify ranking Seton Hall. You can read a newspaper through Pitt's resume... thinner than prosciutto di Parma... beaten no one, lost to their only decent opponent. The Hall beat Wichita with Van Vleet back, much more impressive than Syracuse without Boeheim.

I'm not saying Seton Hall should necessarily be ranked yet, just that they are at least as qualified as Pitt, or Louisville.

In another thread Stever is claiming that seton hall deserves to be ranked over butler. But now he is claiming that Pitt has a better resume than setonhall

In fairness, I'm pretty sure I've seen him sticking up for BE over on the UConn boneyard, where I like.to read from time to time
