Both have a loss each and I swear I saw Boise lose to Nevada couple of nights ago. Both played a couple of half decent teams and the same Little Sisters of the Poor teams. Atleast, the voters had enough sense to put Boise ahead of VaTech.

Because it shouldnt be some default rule that if a team beats another, they are then ranked higher. Thats ridiculous.
The team that loses can still be the better team and therefore should be ranked higher.
This is especially true later in the season when each team's full body of work can be assessed. Their wins, losses, points for and against, defensive rank, and offensive rank.
