College Basketball Rankings Fail - AP and ESPN Polls Seems to Miss the Mark
Monday, November 23, 2009
It is only the second week in college basketball and somehow the AP and ESPN/USA Today polls seem to be miserable in the ranking department. It seems like it would be quite easy to rank teams early on based on record but somehow the polls are completely comfortable ranking teams even with losses over good conference undefeated teams: Miami and Florida State to name a couple. Yet nonetheless, the AP Poll seems to find a place for the Oklahoma Sooners who have lost to Virginia Commonwealth this early in the season, yet I do not see any massive points going to VCU for their win, yet Oklahoma still gets ranked for this. The ESPN poll is not much better as they are willing to rank the 2-2 California Golden Bears as number 23. Something seems quite wrong with this.
