I honestly think they aren’t as good as that ranking right now.

Better than last year but struggled with la tech and the mid major team before that.

I think they will get better though.

I think those two teams are actually pretty good. La Tech pretty much dominated Wichita State the whole game and we beat them basically without our best player in Naz. La tech and UNCG may both make the NCAA tournament this year. UNCG was a tourney team last year and almost beat Gonzaga.

this is horrible. Let’s see. Reid was limited. And then there is the fact that mid-major and Tech are projecting to be very good when it’s all over.memphis will likely make a push for that conference and lot 5th where they are predicted looking at that freshmen class and who we wanted from there. Then there is Tech who will push for their conference.
Basketball has lots of mid-majors that not only make the tournament, they excel
And win at times...

UNCG is a really good team, and LA Tech is certainly looking like one as well.

No one cares about your opinion because it's evident you don't follow CBB

I know! Kansas is so undeserving of that #2 ranking as well after only beating ULL by 13 in their last game out...

Ok. Tell me everything you know about teams 20-25 and all the others receiving votes...

Right now, other than Duke and Kansas, it's hard to say who is really good and who isn't because not many teams have played tough opponents. For instance, Virginia is #4 (and getting 1st place votes) even though they've played no one worth a shite. If you go by RPI rankings (which don't mean all that much now) LSU is #4 and they have played the 11th strongest schedule to date.

Polls in basketball are virtually meaningless any way. We'll have better idea of this LSU team after this week (particularly if they meet Florida St.)

The pessimist says: LSU struggled to beat La. Tech at home and isn't that good.

The optimist says: LSU was still able to get a win despite playing their worst game of the season (Awful 3pt and FT%; outrebounded, leading scorer virtually a non-factor)

The reality is they are probably somewhere in between right now.
