Rush The Court has Kentucky at #2 following the loss to IU. They put OSU on top because they [I]deemed that a road loss to Kansas without [B]Jared Sullinger[/B] did not warrant Syracuse jumping into #1 position.[/I]
For my comments on that logic, see post on [URL=”http://www.nationofblue.com/f2/kentucky-3-cbs-top-25-one-13493/”]CBS Top 25 (and one)[/URL].
I always find it interesting how the weekly polls become a bizarre exercise in deductive reasoning and teams like Syracuse will be considered the default #1 because they have no losses (pay no mind to their cupcake schedule), even though UK barely has one loss after facing, what after today will have been, 3 top 25 teams. At least these guys didn’t fall into that trap.
