What do you think about this

What do you think about this week's new Top 25?

- I had KU #1 in my Top 50, but as I mentioned in there, I expected Syracuse to be #1 in the AP. The 2 are extremely close so no issue there.

- I don't see why Xavier should pass Richmond despite XU beating them in 2 OT. It was at Xavier, and the fact Richmond played them to a stand-still on the ROAD is actually a sign Richmond is better.

- Outside of the Xavier thing, no major qualms with this week's poll, though I do think Temple is slightly underrated.

Georgetown should be out and on the bubble

another fade year. They have a few good players but very poorly coached.

Ohio State

How can Ohio State (with an 8-6 record against top 100 rpi) be ranked higher than New Mexico (with an 11-2 record against top 100rpi)?

Joel Welser said Syracuse was the 67th best team in the country

I think we should make Joel Welser stand in the corner while we all point our fingers at him and laugh.
