Michigan #16 in USA Today Coaches Poll
February 3rd, 2014 at 1:45 PM ^
The Coaches Poll and the AP poll need to sit down together and have a nice long chat about Michigan, because I have not very often seen such a wide disparity in ranking with a team.
Also, Wisconsin and OSU are still deserving of being ranked? Really, Coaches poll? Really?

Still #10 in the AP poll...unchanged

It's very apparent that the AP voters have watched the ranked teams play basketball this year, and the coaches (except for their team and direct opponents) have not. Louisville hasn't beaten a ranked opponent all year, same for Kentucky (except the Louisville game), same for Saint Louis, Creighton Yogi Ferrell'd all over Nova but other than that, nothing, and Iowa???
GTFO coaches, you're as drunk as Joe Namath last night.

Wisconsin loses 5 of 6 and is still ranked. Incredible.

Overall bodies of work/overall schedules are taken into account when voting. Do Wisconsin's wins over Florida, Saint Louis, Virginia, and Iowa suddenly not count, just because of bad losses? I don't see any teams ranked below them who have more impressive victories on their resumés.

Wisconsin and Ohio State are still ranked on name brand alone. Most other ranked teams that start hot and lose 5 of 6 in conference are banished from the rankings. For some reason the pollsters are not realizing OSU lost to PSU at home and Wisconsin lost to NW at home

Although many ranking injustices are evident in the overall big picture Michigan at #16 is about right...for now.

NBA won't take Stauskas because he can't turn hyper athletic foulers(oops good defenders), into used charcoal? If that is what the "good loss", means I'm all for it. *shrug* Is worth 2-3 games next year...

Very weird to be 10th in one poll and 16th in another. I've never heard of a split that big.
