theres 2 syracuse homers that just cant give those two votes up

[FanofThegame12]

In my honest opinion, I think OSU should be ahead of Cuse, I mean goodness compare the schedules.

[itzAmazing]

I think these are solid rankings. I don't know if I would have Murray State so high, but they have earned the consideration by remaining undefeated.

[ekff]

I don't like Duke or Kansas... I could see both teams getting bounced out of the NCAA tournament first or second round. And NO I'm not a person that says it about Duke every year. I just don't like there teams at all. They both would get good seeds because of the money but if they lose 1 or 2 more games they both should be 5 seeds....... I would love to see Duke and Kansas at 5 seeds and have those 12/5 upsets.

If Cats lose to Florida all they should move is to #2 next week.

Didn't you see that the ESPN talking heads had SU's schedule as 7th toughest
in the nation? Miles ahead of say UK which was in the 70's or 80's somewhere.


Seriously though, you're correct, SU's schedule is NOT awe inspiring. It never
is. Though I guess you could make the ppoint that with Fla. and NC State,
it's WAY better than it usually is. (damning with faint praise there)

Does not look like we will have to worry about that ekff :Thumbs:
