Title: Arizona's Collapse
Post by: Tugg Speedman on December 15, 2017, 06:45:48 PM
Ok a few weeks old but worthy of mention

Arizona went from #2 to unranked three weeks ago.  This fall of 24 spots in one week is the biggest weekly collapse in the history of the AP poll.

Louisville went from No. 2 to unranked in the Dec. 2, 1986 poll, but that was when it was only a top 20 poll, according to the NCAA record book.

In the era of the top 25 poll, the biggest fall from ranked to unranked in a single week was Kentucky in 2012, which fell from No. 8 one week to unranked in the Dec. 3, 2012 poll.

This week they are getting no votes.  So in three weeks they went from #2 to no votes!

?

Arizona is 4-0 in the last three weeks and is currently ranked #23. They have gotten votes every week.

Yup.  Heise is good at providing fake news.

Yes, the lowest vote total they ever got was 10 votes in week 5.

By the title, I thought McCain might have gotten sent "to the farm upstate."

Glad to see that wasn't the case.

I'm guessing, like usual, Heise's defense will be, "Of all the things to focus on you focus on me saying they went from #2 in the polls to not receiving a single ranking?  My obvious point is they took the biggest fall in ranking history.  These damn word police are trying to distract from what I intended to say but didn't!"
