Rankings Monday Dec 20

It's good to see the Hoyas back in the Top Ten after a week on the outside looking in.  I know it doesn't mean very much right now but it looks nice.  They are also still holding down the top spot in the RPI. 

Here is a look at both polls:  (BE Schools in bold)

Coaches                                         

1.  Duke                                      
2.  Ohio State                                    
3.  Kansas                                   
4.  CONNECTICUT                         
5.  SYRACUSE                                
6.  PITT
7.  San Diego State
8.  VILLANOVA
9. GEORGETOWN
10.  Missouri

The AP Top 10 is nearly identical to the Coaches Poll.  The lone difference is the reversal of Missouri and Georgetown at #9 and #10.


My Thoughts:  The one team that I haven't seen play is San Diego State.  I'm sure that I'm not the only one with that problem.

So we have 5 Big East schools in the Top 10.  I really think Connecticut and Pitt are a bit over valued right now.  I guess time will tell.  Actually I think that about the entire Big East in the Top 10 but in order to call out those teams, I would have to figure out who should replace them.  I'm struggling to do that right now.

Tennessee lost twice last week but they are a squad that I think is one of the 10 best right now.

Florida got back into the rankings today only to lose a rare Monday afternoon game.  At home.  To Jacksonville.  I don't think Artis Gilmore played so I'm really not sure what happened down in Gainesville.  I guess weird things happen when the students are out of town.

Michigan State is a sleeping dog right now.  Emphasis on both "sleeping" and "dog".

I'm not real high on Memphis right now but that could all change on Christmas Eve Eve.

Peace brah
