Title: This is why you can't take the polls seriously...

How did Wisconsin get votes in one poll and Penn State in another? Do these people even watch a second of college basketball?

Well... the polls don't go by how the teams look... because if they went by that, then UNC would have been #1 throughout the year.  Even through their losses, they are the best team night in night out.  The thing is it doesn't go by who is the best team... rather who is doing the best at the moment... Bucky has won 4 straight... and hell... Robert Morris got a vote.

Dayton not being ranked in the ESPN/Coaches poll and only No. 25 in the AP poll is ridiculous. That team plays in the A-10, has 23 wins versus only 3 losses total against quality opponents, and has beaten Marquette and Xavier. And they're barely ranked? It's ridiculous. It reminds me of the lack of respect we would get when we were in the Great Midwest or early on in C-USA.
