AP Poll...Cats #8

[richbrookstomato]

No shocker here from what I posted above that DeCock, Crepea and Newell screwed us again. Jesse Newell continues to be a terrible voter. Here are some of his highlights for this week:

7. Michigan State - 17 spots above their ranking and 10 spots above their next highest ranking by voter
10. Michigan - 9 spots above their ranking and 6 spots above their next highest ranking by voter
11. Ohio State - 12 spots above their ranking and 6 spots above their next highest ranking by voter
13. Arizona - 15 spots above their ranking and 8 spots above their next highest ranking by voter
15. Florida State - 9 spots below their ranking and 5 spots below their next lowest ranking by voter
21. Kentucky - 13 spots below their ranking

That's so inept it has to be on purpose. No one is that clueless.

Does anyone review these and hold voters accountable? If somebody on my team at work continues to underperform, I don't continue to let it happen. They either improve or they find another job.

This Newell dude is pathetic!!

I'm beginning to think that James Newell is actually @Nooneputsbabyinacorner!!

He seems to REALLY hate Kentucky.

I've been following him for a few weeks now because his picks standout. Not just with UK, but with how bad he is overall. But for UK, he had us at 22 and we have gone 6-0 since and moved up once spot over those three weeks to number 21 in his poll.

Please let it be!

1 Gonzaga
2 San Diego State
3 UK
4 Oregon

San Diego st shouldn't drop much, they have one loss. Why should it matter that UNLV isn't a good team when every team has bad losses? Duke should certainly drop more and no way should we be considered any lower than a 3 seed.

#1 Kansas - 1 seed
#2 Baylor - 1 seed
#3 Gonzaga - 1 seed
#4 Dayton - 2 seed
#5 SD State - 1 seed
#6 FSU - 2 seed
#7 Duke - 2 seed
#8 UK - 4 seed

According to Lunardi. Makes perfect sense, no?

I hate to break it to everyone but most of the respected bracket matrix guys I follow have Kentucky as a 4 seed as of today as well.

The guy who is #1 in bracket matrix has Kentucky at 13 overall. Is this guy a clown ? I don't believe so.

I have told you guys all year long that the AP ranking means squat when it comes to seeding but you never listen. Also as has been said 100 times already that Evansville loss was likely a full seed line drop by itself.

Let's look at the #1 ranked guy on bracket matrix and see the 12 teams he has ahead of Kentucky and see if this is so crazy.

The only team you could even argue we could be ahead of is Louisville. They have 4 quad 1 wins and 10 quad 1+2 wins but they do not have an Evansville type loss and won at Duke which is better than any win we have.

Kentucky has 6 quad 1 wins and 10 quad 1+2 wins

Seton Hall has 10 quad 1 wins and 15 quad 1+2 wins (and no Evansville type loss)
Villanova has 8 quad 1 wins and 14 quad 1+2 wins (and no Evansville type loss)
Creighton has 9 quad 1 wins and 14 quad 1+2 wins (and no Evansville type loss)

LOL Maryland is not going to be a 1 seed unless they win out . . They would have to win out to get a 2 . UK wins out and our 1 seed will be KU with a very outside shot at Baylor being it . Our 3 IMO will be either UL for a rematch in the sweet 16 or FSU possibly or someone like Nova .

Suspect it will look something like this

Midwest - KU / UK / UL / Nova
West Zags/Maryland / Creighton / Zona Or Oregon
South - Baylor/ FSU / Auburn / Mich or Mich st
East - SDSU / Dayton / Seton hall / Penn St or Ohio St

really those 4 seeds are hard to figure .

So if Maryland wins out and UK wins out .. I bet Maryland is seeded higher but they likely blew their shot at one seed with OSU loss. Not saying they are better .. just right now they are seeded higher than UK.
