Coaches poll out

[GoldenWarrior11]

Did you hear that? I think it was BYU dropping another TD on the Bearcat defense. Hopefully, Cincinnati picks up their first AAC win soon. It's almost November...

Top 25 is a dumb criteria quite frankly. NCAA tourney teams is a much more reasonable criteria. Big East will likely have at least 4 teams bare minimum- and are much more likely to have 6 teams than they are 4. At least prior to this year- can't have said that about the AAC. Now, if the AAC in basketball turns in a season like they've turned in for football- all bets are off- but that's gotta happen first.

Top 25 usually correlates to tourney teams. Granted, we do see top 25 teams not make it once every few seasons but using Top 25 is fine. If were going to scrap it and say how many teams make the tourney why not use how many tourney games won?

Where's that Bearcat fan today? One ACC team sneaking in at the end of the poll. 3 teams total receiving votes. Hmmm...

LMAO!! Marquette with a powerful 1 vote (means one person ranked them #25) and Providence with a mighty 5 votes. If you include SMU and remove Tulsa (also with one vote) we are only down one! 4-3. HAHAHA.

Why would we include SMU? Unless you missed it that cheating team has to sit out a year from the polls and from the tourney because they run a crooked program. I guess that doesn't really matter when other programs in the league are UCONN and Memphis, who only care about wins, not about the education of the young men they are supposed to be providing a future for. What's even funnier is that you know that Larry Brown is close to leaving soon (which he always does after 4-5 years). How long before they are like UCF and USF again? But what's REALLY the best part of the AAC as a conference is the collective RPI's of the bottom half of your league. Would you like me to post where teams in the bottom half of your league are expected to be this year or would you prefer just to crawl back to the AAC board where 4-5 posters respond to Stevers polls about who the best team is? (A lot of excitement over there for sure). That's why when the 4th or 5th place team from the AAC goes before the selection committee they have RPI's in the high 70's and 80's. It's because it is a TERRIBLE basketball league after UCONN.

Fixed.
