Why would Tennessee move 4 spots to 8 when the won?
B.Y.U. 10:20 15:11
Don’t k ow how Florida is t above auburn bc they beat them and the two teams they lost to but whatever lol
New Mexico ranked and A&M 29 is one of the dumbest things I have ever seen. NM lost to NM St and SJSU and has beaten NO ONE.
🤡😂🤡😂🤡😂🤡😂
So sportswriters now say St John’s is better than Tennessee even though they have same record and schedule strength of 43 compared to Tennessee I think between 5 and 8? Makes sense if you’re biased I guess.
No way there's 25 better teams in the country than UConn.
8 quad 1 win A&M at 29? After the auburn win? Idk how you can justify that
Andy, you say your poll put a big emphasis on how teams are playing now. Michigan State wins the B10 by 3 full games, wins 7 games in a row, including wins at Illinois at Maryland and at Michigan and you rank them 9th, and St. John's 4th? What is up with that?
Games in November don't count? Yeah ok bubba
“Michigan state vs the field is close”…
Being generous, I think your math is worse than the rest of your analysis. MSU is +260 to win the B10 tournament which is an implied probability 27.8%. So, no, it’s not “close”.
You said Kentucky split the week when they won by 30 against LSU and then best Missouri at there place how is this splitting the week?
Andy Katz poster boy for hateraide and the Acc.
there’s 14 SEC teams with more quad one wins than Duke. and Auburn beat Houston. but it’s why AP poll doesn’t matter now that the tournament is coming
Drake should be ranked. 30-3 with a win vs Vanderbilt.
What rank is Arizona
Purdue 🤣🤣
someone tell me why creighton didn’t get in when there are two 22-9 teams in the top 25 above Creighton and cu owns the tiebreaker over mu
How is Oregon ranked ahead of UCLA????
Oregon with a nice OT win over last place Wash. lol
I think mich st. Gets a #1seed. And terps get a #3 seed
Kentucky did not split the week Andy. Common man do your research!
ROLL TIDE 😊🏀
You are insane if you think UCLA is the best defensive team in the B10. They aren't even the 2nd best defense. By far MSU is the best defensive team at #5 in the Nation per KenPom. Maryland is next at #9 and then UCLA at #15. Just admit that you hate MSU. Maryland has been your favorite team all season. MSU wins the B10 by 3 games and you still won't say that they are the best team in the B10. You are sad. The Media is not supposed to allow their biases to affect what they report.
Duke is the team to beat, theyre better than Auburn and Houston
feels good to be ranked again, not that it matters
kentucky did not split the week
I say duke vs texas tech championship game
If Iowa state stay healthy the will win big 12
Why not put all acc in
I say Maryland in big ten
Not sure what numbers everyone is looking at but as of now, all I hear about is North Carolina doesnt have enough Quad 1 Wins, which that is true but that is only 1 metric. Using the Committee metrics, North Carolina going into today is in.
I’m excited to see what this Louisville team can do in March!
Even if it’s not much it’s felt good to have a team that plays hard every game and can actually win games.
Pat Kelsey has done a great job building a winning culture here and it didn’t take him very long.
Go Cards!
MSU just consecutively beat Illinois (road), Purdue, Michigan (road), Maryland (road), Wisconsin, Iowa (road), and Michigan.
That is all.
UK did not "split the week" they blew out LSU by 30+ and then beat their 8th top 15 team of the year at Mizzou.
mizzou 34 haha jeez
What a totally biased assessment
For #5 Bama, you might want to put beating Auburn as a "Notable win". They were #1 when Bama beat them.
lol crazy Towson got kinda cooked
Purdue shouldn't be 20th too high
Pat Kelsey is the coach of the year and it’s not close.
Anyone could win with Dukes and Auburns roster.

Why does the Oregon logo look AI generated here
Yeah, give anyone Cooper Flagg and that Duke roster and they'd be "Coach of the Year." Kelvin Sampson has done the best COACHING job this year. While Duke has the best team money can buy, CKS has a mostly home-grown squad, no big money transfers, and even a bunch of American Conference guys still in the fold and contributing. SIX conference championships in a row. Houston is killing the Big 12 in its first two seasons. The Coogs haven't lost a Big 12 road game in over a year! Plus, the winningest program in D1 basketball the past five years. If not now, WHEN does CKS get the honor???
Another week of the AP polls disrespecting my Gators 🐊 😂😂
Your crazy putting UK at 21, seriously playing in the SEC and finally healthy! You got some very odd choices
Florida Gators get no respect.
Why is Houston ranked #2????? Bama defeated Houston…
