UNC #4 with 2 L's considering how many good teams have 0 is bizarre to me.

I almost had it right. I figured the AP would be different from the 4 letter poll.

The loss to UK should pretty much be a non issue. UNLV is a solid team, but not great. But they started at #1 so they had some room to drop.

Good for the pollsters in not dropping UNC. I'm surprised, but still, good for them. It's not just about looking at how many losses you have.

Its the eye test imo. UNC is very very good, losses aside.

Exactly, and that's why early rankings don't matter, because early season schedules are not created equal. UNC has 2 losses now, but they'll probably only have 4 or 5 heading into the tournament.

Better than the 4-letter poll ... they had Duke over NC after a 20-point drubbing by OSU. I do think they have it right with L'ville (OMG I hate those guys) at the #4 tho ... and I think that the AP has it right with Duke in the 7 hole. UNC should have stayed at #5 ... but its still very, very early. I love OSU right now.
