Message: [QUOTE="OttoMets, post: 1862348, member: 716"] Interesting. Obviously a little crude, but I'm glad you posted that. This must reflect AP polling - 2012 jumped out at me, because I remember being top-five in the preseason and probably settling lower than that after flaming out in the Elite Eight. The AP (more reliable than the coaches, in my mind) doesn't release a post-tournament poll, so this isn't a precise tool, but it's interesting. Anyway, polls are fairly meaningless, preseason polls completely so. I'm inclined to think SU does get the short end at the expense of favored programs now and again (Duke and seeding in both 2005 and 2010, for instance), but the claim in the OP is bogus, as far as I'm concerned.
