ESPN Power Rankings

[JJReddawg]

Syracuse at #2 with Ohio State at #1

http://espn.go.com/mens-college-basketball/powerrankings/_/week/2

People with completely idiotic rankings:

Rece Davis #3
Doug Gottlieb #4 (Really Doug?)
Jason King #4
Jason McCallum #5 (UConn's ahead of us. Really?)
Miles Simon #3

I get the feeling Gottlieb does stuff like this just to get under the skin of SU fans.

Bilas and Katz have us at #1, and those are pretty much the only two opinions I care about at ESPN.

I keep thinking of the seinfeld with the Mandelbaums and the "#1 Dad" tshirts with Jerry reminding everyone that none of this is official.

Not everybody has to be enamored with us. It doesn't matter.

Not everybody has to be enamored with us. It doesn't matter.

I think this will change when we beat Marquette and are still undefeated.

More #1 votes than any other team, yet we're still #2. Sounds legit.

Dana O'Neill put us #1 ... was surprised to see that ... must've been a typo.

I'm starting to think Thad Matta intentionally sat out Sullinger because of his "injury" for the KU game because he knew he'd have a built in excuse for the rest of the year if they lost (which was likely because few teams ever win at the Phog).

It became a no risk game for OSU. Win the game without Sully and they look even stronger. Lose the game without him and the loss gets discarded. Seems to be working well.

The horror. Some analysts think Syracuse is only a top 5 team. RRRRRRRRRRRRRRAAGGGGEEEE

Neat site. Someone should post that link here every week... the way SWC reports on the Coach's show every week.

Joe Lunardi has us at #1. That is all that matters to me after the 1st week in March for Selection Sunday.
