Message: [QUOTE="STEVEHOLT, post: 197189, member: 522"] Im quite certain the vast majority here realize that the rankings in college basketball are sort of a joke, mean nothing, and are just something that give some degree of incentive to teams/fan bases for a largely drawn out and not always meaningful regular season. Having said that, what do you think would happen in the following hypothetical? -team A is 25-0..ranked number one in the nation..having played a solid schedule and are from a power conference. team B is 21-4..ranked number two, also have played a solid schedule and are from a power conference. team A loses to some random but decent team in a closely contested game... Team B wins its game.. what would the next week's poll read? Team A still number 1? Team B now number 1? im 99 percent sure that it would be team B number one just because they won and number one lost. it is for this reason that polls are a ing joke. [/QUOTE]
