Not 'til after Salem.  That applies to the real poll and the PP.

Wait, there's one this week, right?  Then off until after the tournament.

[gordonmann]

Actually we have one more poll this week before the tournament starts.  Its release will probably be delayed by the business of the day.

Ypsi, put down the pipe!

[Mr. Ypsi]

Yeah, I've been tallying the current PP and misspoke.  Both the real poll and the PP come out this week, THEN go on hiatus.

Even people far less pressured than Pat get harried this weekend of the year!

I just want to get this straight for posterity. As you were tallying the Posters' Poll this was your answer?

I am thinking the Tommies might slide HARD in final.  >15th??

[Pat Coleman]

Depends on what everyone else does, too, but certainly they will slip.

[David Collinge]

So, where did we leave off in the "Middlebury is overrated" discussion?

[Hugenerd]

So, where did we leave off in the "Middlebury is overrated" discussion?

Or the WashU is too inconsistent to win another championship discussion?  

Or was it just me making that argument? 

[Ryan Scott (Hoops Fan)]

Tell me about it.  I think I had them about 21st in my last poster's poll.  Way too high.

[David Collinge]

Through two rounds, the second ten is slightly outperforming the top 10.  Five of the top 10 (#2-#5 and #10) are alive, whereas six from the second ten survived, all in a cluster spanning #13-#19 with the lone exception being #15 St. Norbert.  The remaining five survivors are unranked, with SUNYIT and RIC not even drawing a single vote in the last poll.

All four teams in the presumably-Guilford sectional are ranked, the lowest being #17 Wooster.  Three-fourths of the right side sectionals ("Wisconsin" and "Mid-Atlantic"?) are ranked.  Williams is the only ranked team left in the Williams sectional; of course, there were only three to begin with, one wildly overranked and the other at #25.
