I'd be interested in his logic of dropping SMU and keeping Cincy above us
The guy clearly doesn't watch or has never watched SMU basketball. He has Wisconsin ahead of us after losing two games this week. Guys like this are one of the AP poll doesn't have much merit.
JW does watch basketball, but his professional responsibility is the West Coast (Pac-12, WCC & MW). SOS is big for him so teams that play a lot of ranked teams get the benefit of the doubt.
Overall, how many voters do you think have seen each team in the top 25 play at least 3-5 times?

Maybe so - but the Wisconsin thing is inexcusable. Midwest basketball isn't even very good this year.

Looks like you twitter guys have a couple of new candidates. It seems that pays off...not immediately b/c
then the'd have to admit they are wrong....but it gets them looking a little harder at us.

Well overall that reason is why the AP Poll has no merit on getting in the tourney, because most voters only watch their region and then just look at records. No person intimately keeping up with college basketball would have dropped us one spot and keep Wiscy infront of us after losing to 2 unranked teams.
I'm sure he watches basketball, but has never watched us, outside of maybe USC. Should at least do a little more digging if as a voter in the polls if you havent watched most of the teams at least do an indepth look. Like UVA has nine loses and is ahead of us in his poll.

Jerry C has been good to us ever since we called him out a few weeks ago for dropping us after winning two games ...

A million weeks ago when we were carrying around some extra baggage perhaps.
