First of the national polls

First of the national polls is out. Not sure how much stock you can put in a poll that gives 22 votes to USC..

The other ARV school...

... with 22 votes (Notre Dame) is a bit curious as well. I love 'Gody, but we're talking about a team that did NOT make it to the Big Dance last year, and lost McAlarney, Hillesland, Ayers and Tyler's older brother Luke Zeller. I think the other Tyler's younger brother, Ben Hansbrough, is going to help their lackluster defense, but losing Martin for the year REALLY hurts, when he was supposed to pick up much the scoring slack from the aforementioned seniors. All in all, Not enough scoring options + not enough interior defense + brutally deep conference = NIT for the Fighting Irish.

Sean- what does Siena have

Sean- what does Siena have to do to get into the top 25?

Wisconsin not in this poll either?

Can Wisconsin get any respect? They are not ranked in the AP poll and they also are not ranked or in others receiving votes in this poll either. They do not look like they are very talented, but they should be well coached and should compete in a tough Big Ten.
