It would be neat to see the AP and ESPN polls next to the XH poll so we can compare easily.

Who the hell kept Gonzaga in their Top 25?

I toyed with a table, but some weren't able to read it.

Who the hell kept Gonzaga in their Top 25?

A lot of people did if they received 22 votes (unless I don't understand the scoring). I for one was not one of them. I was actually surprised to see I wasn't the only person who put Dayton in theirs.

what's your logic behind msu at 3 and unc at 11?

[PMI]

You really don't believe UNC is a top 10 team 95? I'd love to hear an explanation.

[xu95]

I do believe they are and will probably have them lot higher next week. I mainly just did it because all the talk all year about how awesome the North Carolina (Boston) Celtics are. It had no factor in my vote since the game was yesterday, but BC losing to the mighty Harvard doesn't help much.

However, MSU is very good and coming together quite nicely. Are they better than UNC? Who knows. I will probably still have them three and UNC four unless something drastic happens this week.

Nor I either, but they may be taking Tennessee's place after last night next week.

Not trying to be a d!ck, just pointing out:

In Detroit, Michigan:

North Carolina - 98
Michigan State - 63

I apologize that I was not able to get my votes in on time. Sometimes work gets in the way of the important things.
