At first glance I don't see anything too crazy. Xavier is probably a little high at 7 while Louisville is low at 13.

For the Big East, sounds about right.

The Seton Hall disrespect is still real

[stever20]

I think with Seton Hall(and frankly others in the Big East)- if they ranked more than 25 teams, you would see the Big East ratings better. I mean, I think you would find like right now Seton Hall and Butler likely with a lot more votes- with a lot of folks having them at 26 or 27(moreso than some of the others)...

Surprised that there are no votes for Georgetown. Thought they would get at least a few. Otherwise I think they're about right.

I think they deserve some votes but I can see why people wouldn't vote for the most disappointing team in the country(besides UCLA) last season who lost their best player.

IMO the Coaches Poll reflects a bit more realistically than the writers poll. The Hall definitely not getting the deserved respect ... in most polls. Not buying all of the luv for Butler either...dem dogs gonna fold like crisp sheets.
Surprised, as are many, that the Hoyas are not at least receiving votes? Should be a very good turnaround year for Georgetown.

Oh well, let the season begin and we shall see soon enough.

[Jet915]

Fortunately or unfortunately for Creighton, we will play Wisconsin in the second week so we are either gonna shoot up the rankings or drop out by the end of week 2....

Thanks for your input. You say this every single year.

Too bad Marquette's scrimmage win over Dayton doesn't help the RPI.
