My bad, I think that was last week's poll I looked at.
Xavier is 5-0, beat Memphis, and is still ranked lower than Memphis.
That's how you know the coach's poll always has been, and always will be, a monumental joke.

More like the SID's poll.

That's actually our name. No hyphen. Cumbersome as hell, but at least their correct.
It's obvious that the basketball voters in either poll do not watch basketball. While it feasible that we would not be ranked, based on the performance last week, we should have received more votes than we did.
I wonder if we would have received more votes if the Arizona story had not become them blowing it, and had stayed us beating them by around 10 pts. The media portrayed the story as Arizona lost that game, UAB did not win it.
That had a lot to do with it. A lot of people from grad school send me messages saying how we were lucky Arizona blew it and one writer even said that Arizona managed to "snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.". Um, don't you have to have a lead in order to snatch defeat from victory? Arizona's last lead was early in the first half.
We were lucky to win the game against Zona. But it was because of our miscues that even allowed Zona to get back into the game. Zona just simply made sure they didn't take what they hadn't earned.
It's totally ridiculous that everyone is spinning the Zona game like we got lucky to win. How did we get lucky to win the game? Zona NEVER HAD A LEAD IN THE ENTIRE 2ND HALF. WE LED FOR PROBABLY >95% OF THE GAME!! Ugh, people saying that zona blew the game pisses me off to no end :muttering:
My point in a nutshell is - you have to have a lead in order to say you blew the game. Why don't people understand this? If it had been the other way around, I would not be saying that Zona got lucky to win or UAB blew the game, etc., etc.
