Good defense by WSU. 8.1 left WSU down three with the ball.

This season is gonna be very comical to watch and listen to the mouth-pieces. I think someone should save all the articles, comments, etc and put them in a file to save them for later.
Someone already mentioned in another thread how we can say goodbye to our only ranked team from our conference. I think he may be right.
The pollsters are NOT gonna know what to do with the MVC. They will only want to rank one team, but which one will be the problem.
So we will see 3-5 MVC teams high amongst those receiving votes with one cracking in from time to time.
What is truely sad... the NCAA Selection Committee takes into consideration of how high and how long you are/were ranked. What a stinkin sham! The pollsters are biased to protect their own interests (and their own conferences/teams to boost money revenue from the tourney that they help determine the field for based on their polls).

To be fair, there are a lot of teams from the BCS leagues that aren't ranked that have decent records. Only Ohio State, Michigan State, and Wisconsin are in the polls from the Big 10. Stalwarts like Kentucky and Syracuse aren't ranked either. The problem with the ratings system as we know it is looking at the teams that are receiving votes and how they are perceived. Right now, I wouldn't have Syracuse or Villanova ahead of Drexel since the Dragons beat both teams on the road. Still, DU is garnering little support nationally, and with the so-called Eastern bias the pollsters have been tagged with, that's sort of surprising. I think some of the voters are a bit lazy when it comes to choosing the last five or six teams in a weekly poll, and part of that is attributed to the fact that there are 336 schools playing division 1 basketball now, as opposed to 272 schools 25 years ago. With so many games being contested each night and the fact that some of these voters concern themselves with sports other than college basketball, you could see why such discrepancies exist. It's nice to be ranked and see your team in the paper, but all too often it jacks up said team's opponents, which is why schools in the 18-25 range often lose after fighting to get some recognition. It happens frequently with teams from big, medium, and small conferences alike.
