Nice work pollsters. Reps to all of you.

Who voted for Uconn as #1. Hmmmmmm.........

[The Artist]

If we win Saturday, I'll have a tough time deciding where to put us...definitely ahead of Pitt who has played nobody, and I'll have to look at UCONN and Oklahoma more closely.

Unfortunately I'm not convinced that the AP or coaches would even jump us over texas

The team needs to win to even worry about that...JUST WIN BABY!

[XU05and07]

bye bye Marquette??? They really didn't look that strong last night...their weak points were exposed

[Snipe]

UNC is soft. They haven't proven they can win the close one. Hansboro is a bleeder. Bunch of soft, bleeding mama's boys if you ask me. Check out their pathetic SOS. Complete paper tiger. We would crush them. I refuse to vote for UNC for #1 until every other team in division 1 has a defeat. If not UConn I would vote for Pitt or Oklahoma. Haven't seen Pitt play this year, but that Blake Griffin is alright in my book.

Memphis is barely ranked by Muskie fans. We have seen them play. It wouldn't have surprised me if they went unranked in this poll. UD got no votes after being ranked in the last XHoops poll, and we almost ranked Marquette.

Good to see Missouri getting some love. Their only loss is us. I thought they played us tougher than any other team thus far. I really liked their big men, especially the rasta guy. Hopefully they can keep it up.

A game I would like our voters to watch is BYU at Arizona St. BYU is 10-0 but they have only played one team in the top 100 RPI (Utah St. #40). If they can win at ASU they deserve some consideration.

Apparently our poll pep talk worked at the OU game. We both did much better.

[ATL Muskie]

For the record, I got mine in on time but also received a friendly reminder that mine was late and to submit it ASAP. Just wanted to make sure you guys got mine on time and that I didn't piss anyone off. Don't want to lose my voting privileges.

He was getting big time pressure from The Artist who is planning a coup to takeover the entire rating system.
