Just reviewed the coaches preseaon poll. Naturally the power conferences, Big 10, Big 12, Big East,&,not to forget the ACC, dominate the rankings as they did...
I don't really think these coaches that vote have a clue. Have you looked at the list of schools these coaches are from? Most are small D-1 or mid-majors, ...
Big 10 overrated? A few years ago? Maybe. Now? Let's see. In the last three years, the Big Ten has taken five (Michigan State 3, Wisconsin 1, Ohio State 1) of...
Scott's right. The Big Ten sends so many schools to the big Dance because the whip up on the rest of the country during the year. They do not schedule cushy ...
Well, first off, nobody is voting for conferences, they're voting for teams. As for tournament performance, anyone who thinks the Big Ten is a bad tournament...
Not surprised. St. Joe's & Temple both should be really good, and Xavier's not bad either. Big East doesn't have any real heavyweights. A lot of solid clubs,...

I'd say the same thing about in-season polls. ... I'm sure Jerry would agree that the preseason polls GENERALY have nothing to do with the "real world" (the...
yeah....preseason are just that...what did teams return and then such. Any poll with just 31 people on it is gonna be shaky, especially if some coaches really...
