is part of your job, take some pride in it. For those of you who don't know, this is how polls work. Win, and you move up or stay put. Lose, and you drop. It's as simple as that. There's no thought process involved. The main problem is voters are working off of two different instincts that they have trouble balancing: 1) who they think the best teams are, and 2) who has the best resume to date. I think most people still believe that Ohio St, Kentucky, and UNC are the three best teams in the nation and do not believe Syracuse in the long run will be the best team in the nation. I also believe that throwing out all preconceived notions and looking at accomplishments to date, Syracuse's resume is not the strongest out there. It's only by using the fuzzy logic of poll voters that Syracuse has ascended to the top spot in the polls by default. #1 and #2 lost so #3 must become #1. And most annoyingly, due to Syracuse's weak schedule they will remain #1 well into the new year[/COLOR][/B] [B][COLOR=#000080]Jason earned bonus points for being 1 of 14 Voters not to give Syracuse a 1st place vote, as he has the Orange third.
