Man I really hope this is a case of the website being screwed up or something, because that is one bad ballot.

It's a pretty extreme ballot but it gets even worse if you look at his week 16 ballot.

He moved Northwestern up from 17 to 11. They went 0-2 this week which included a pounding at Maryland.

He had Marquette at 11 last week and moved them down to 14 after winning 2 games.

I stopped looking after that but I'm sure there were other similar cases with other teams.

This makes me very happy.  What a season, boys!

There is something strange with that ballot. Even taking MU out of the evaluation, it is so far off from the norm it makes me wonder if he has an agenda or something. Maybe he was told he is losing his vote at the end of the year. Or he let his cat fill out the ballot (looks like a 'cat' guy)

Honest question, how does a guy like that get a vote?

He's basically the reason that Pitt is ranked this week right?

Not complaining about our ranking #6 is amazing!

Question is Purdue. Not saying we should be ranked higher.  It seems as if they were anointed a 1 seed two months ago and what they do since has had little-to-no impact. They've lost 3 straight road games (2 to unranked teams) and 4 of 6 overall yet they're still top 5 and sitting on a 1.  I get the quad 1 wins, etc but just doesn't seem right.

Purdue deserves to be higher at this point but this does bring up an argument I would love to hear people talk about. Purdue won the head to head matchup at home although close they did win. They currently have 1 less loss and better Q1 wins. Baylor on the other hand got spanked by us are below us in the rankings however are probably above us on the seed line. They have two more losses and lose the head-to-head. How can it be both ways for Marquette that the lose out on seeding. BTW I believe that Purdue losses to Wisconsin tomorrow. Thats basically the badgers season, they lose and they are NIT bound.

Because Baylor has a better resume.  The Selection Committee and the AP voters have zero overlap, and they are doing different jobs.

The AP Poll is a fun marketing tool that has nothing to do with NCAAT seeding. I know there's at least one example of a top 25 team not making the NCAAT and ending up in the NIT

Can someone please check on him? I am worried he had a stroke while he was completing his ballot.

And why does a beat writer from Fort Wayne have a vote, anyway?

[LloydsLegs]

1/2 of his ballot is materially out of whack w the concensus

Of the teams he's most biased against, one is his Alma Mater. I wonder if he tweets at himself in anger.

What can anyone expect from a guy who attended a third-rate (at best) university from the state of Indiana.

[Dickthedribbler]

That's some seriously deep analysis from Katz - I think he's been spending too much energy trying to pump up the Big 10.

Would you expect anything less from a UW-Madison grad?

I thought 12-8 in BE was realistic goal. Never did I think this would happen so quickly. The record is amazing, but how the program is being run is more impressive to me. It looks like Shaka has been here five years, not two.

Rebuilds "are a bitch" as a prominent member of the other Board used to say in order to defend 6-7 years of dissappointment and defend the the status quo.

[Dickthedribbler]

With all due respect to Coach Shaka, the finish line is in Houston on April 3, 2023!

Yes sir!!

[rocket surgeon]

this dylan fella...who invited his opinion??  not only is he a baseball guy, but a lifer cubs fan.  there's got to be a minimum age requirement and maybe some real "journalism" accomplished before he steps up with the big dogs.  his stuff isn't worth getting worked up over

Great memories of "get ready for at least 5 years to maybe getting back to respectable, IF you can find anyone to take the Marquette job".

I "hit the wall" reading that comment on his board for 6 years straight.  He's now getting into a weird discussion about Shaka not landing Jonas Aidoo, and if we had Aidoo how much better we'd be.  He's one strange dude.

This has been a fabulous season through 29 games. Have you gotten "tired legs" yet?

Man.......that used to drive me up the freaking wall dtd.

He hasn't had a chance to make the excuse of tired legs because we've won too often. The exhaustion excuse comes out exclusively after losses.

Don't underestimate the shooting backdrop at Hinkle.

Oh if we lose tonight it'll be all about senior night

Don't forget about the tired legs
