Default Polls

We somehow managed to move up a spot (from #21 to 20) in the AP poll with what we did this past week. I guess some of it may just be a result of several other teams losing, but I think the main reason is that the voters simply don't watch the games.

Ya know. I've wondered how we have stayed ranked this year. Does CPH really garner this much respect. Is it our talent level? I mean seriously, there are dozens of teams with identical records who aren't even receiving votes.

It's because we have better wins. We have solid wins over Duke, Clemson, Wake Forest, Siena, and Charlotte.

Wow, Ranked #20 in both polls now.
Was expecting us to drop out. How Maryland and Wake are still unranked is beyond me.

We have 5 wins vs. the rpi top 50, which is better than most of the teams with the same record as us. I don't know if that's really why we're ranked, but it is reasonable justification.

We only moved up like one spot in the AP after beating Wake and KSU, so it's just a bit perplexing that we moved up the same amount for getting blown out by Duke and barely beating NCST at home.

This just proves why all polls are worthless: nobody has time to watch all the games. If anyone actually watched us, we wouldn't even be receiving votes.
