The New Polls are Out

Today being Monday means that the AP has put out their new polls for college basketball. I know everyone has probably already seen them but I still feel as an avid fan it is my duty to comment on them and grill some of these voters. There are two points I am going to discuss tonight. 1. I would like to applaud the voters on two teams that saw their stock rise this week. The first team Ohio State winners of two games this week by favorable margins  have played much better than Kansas and truly deserve to be the top team in the country. The other team that jumped in the polls St. Johns moved from 25th to 15th and has now set themselves up to possibly receive a double bye in the Gauntlet of the Big East. 2. I would like to ask a fair question to the voters of the poll. HOW THE HECK DOES PITTSBURGH LOSE A GAME AND MOVE UP ONE SPOT IN THE RANKINGS? That kind of ludicrous action doesn't even happen in the defective BCS College Football System. Even if they win this week I would drop them in the poll just to make up for such a huge mistake. Next tonight I will travel around the sports world to inform you of big games tonight and who I feel will come out as the victor. One game going on right now between Villanova and Notre Dame is pretty much over as the Fighting Irish hold a 44-21 margin over the Wildcats at home. If no one else wants to I will call the Wildcats bus driver and have him start the bus. Being a Monday there are not too many games going on but I also have put the #8 Longhorns on upset alert as they travel to unranked Kansas State. All the NBA has tonight is a couple of traded players taking their talents back home to show them off on their new sub-par teams. Finally a few posts have been made on the new Facebook group so I will now address these questions. 1. Keith Miller: What do you think about the Eastern Conference in the NBA, and what about the Big East Basketball, how many teams will get in? Well Keith I feel that the Eastern Conference is the stronger conference and I am looking at a Heat vs. Bulls conference finals with the Bulls moving to the NBA finals in 6 games. Regarding the Big East Keith we all know it is a monster and I feel that 10-12 teams will get into the Big Dance. 2. The last question I will answer is the long one about Syracuse bust freshmen Fab Melo. Mike I feel Jim Boeheim is starting to figure out the best way to use Fab and feels that he is not gonna put up big points but could be a big rebounder and defender. So I am gonna say yes he will be some kinda of force in the postseason. Don't get me wrong he is not gonna be and earthquake but merely and aftershock. If his presence is felt the Orange will be a tough team to beat come tournament time. Thank you for your support and there will be another post tomorrow.

  1. "If no one else wants to I will call the Wildcats bus driver and have him start the bus"... haha thats great. I agree with your opinion on Fab by the way, but I think hes incredibly slow for being a former "exceptional" soccer player.
