Top 25 talk

[Ryan Scott (Hoops Fan)]

Really seems like a great game going on at Albertus Magnus, hosting Brooklyn.  AMC got out to a 15 point lead in the early second half, but Brooklyn is systematically working its way back.  The video isn't coming through for me.  A real shame.

Brooklyn goes down.  They were within four at two minutes to go.  The teams seemed very even throughout, but if you look at the box score, Brooklyn was radically out-rebounded.  That'll be a problem going forward if they can't get it fixed.

Albertus is better than we expect with what they lost last year.  This'll look good on their resume.

[Dave 'd-mac' McHugh]

A little delayed, but finally posted... my Top 25 ballot for Week 2: http://www.d3blogs.com/d3hoops/?p=2687

So D Mac...

Why do you have Elmhurst higher than Benedictine? (Benedictine beat Elmhurst convincingly at Elmhurst.)

And why Wash U ranked and IWU not? (IWU beat Wash U.)

Because one game doesn't always automatically mean a swap... sometimes I feel it does and sometimes I feel it doesn't.

Yes, Benedictine beat Elmhurst and I had Elmhurst in the Top 5 and Benedictine not ranked at the time. I certainly wasn't going to either remove Elmhurst or vault Benedictine ahead of Elmhurst in the Top 25 based on that game. Benedictine got into the ballot and is about as high as I am comfortable with based on the Elmhurst win and others. Should Elmhurst be lower? You could certainly make that argument, but I am not of that opinion right now. I will admit they may not be the 7th (?) best team in the country, but I don't feel that anyone behind them should be ahead of them... so they sit there.

I don't think IWU is a Top 25 team (and I may incorrectly have Wash U as a Top 25 team). Just because IWU won doesn't mean they are now a Top 25 team. Wash U dropped a lot in my poll (and yes, I thought about removing as I stated in the blog), just didn't happen to drop out.

There are times a head-to-head matchup might result in a swap in the polls (Christopher Newport and Salisbury this week), but not all of the time. I just don't buy in the fact that one game trumps the rest of the resume or should automatically mean a team should jump ahead of the other.

Now, I have been pretty open that I may be wrong with Wash U and I thoroughly suspect they will be off my ballot next week after they play Augustana. That's a mistake I probably have made, but I liked what I saw in their start despite the other voice in my head yelling at me to ignore it (and other voices who talked to me after I bought in; timing is a bitch). However, there are so many teams to move around and think about that sometimes you can't hear all the voices accurately.

ALL HAIL THE KING! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, PAT!!!!!!







*at least according to FB.

[AndOne]

Anxious to see the new poll. Expect the possibility of some major changes especially among some of the previous ORV teams moving into the Top 25

[Titan Q]

I saw Alma (MIAA) play yesterday in San Antonio vs Mary Hardin-Baylor.  I was very impressed.  I think they are a Top 25 team.

Anxious to see the new poll. Expect the possibility of some major changes especially among some of the previous ORV teams moving into the Top 25

Perhaps you are not expecting to see that poll tomorrow, but if so, I think you'll be disappointed. I earlier speculated that the next poll would come out on January 4, and I did not hear anything to contradict that. For example, last year, polls were posted on 12/15 and then 1/5. The schedule was similar in 2013-14.

Of the 58 teams who received votes in the last poll, nearly half (27) have not played any games since then. That's why I have not posted a HTF report this week.
