Marquette 43rd overall, so in tournament.

Clearly this poll must be the product of racists.  Only way this could possibly happen is racism or FBI collusion!
How is Depaul not on here?, website was clearly hacked, could not possibly be a wholesale rejection of Depaul's resume!

Not everything on Breitbart is trash. But Breitbart is still trash. Just like Addicting Info or Natural News on the left is trash.

If Breitbart says it, I assume it is cow pies.    So MU is any rank other than 43.

Ah, wish I had delusions of grandeur in thinking me posting a sports story there impacted their business model.  Once they topped 240 million page visits a month and moved into the top 10 Facebook pages, I rather doubt they even keep track of how many people click on stories I post over on their sports tab.

I totally agree, there are a lot of morons in this country.

I know, it was really funny how they kept saying Trump was going to win while Huffington Post gave him a 2% chance. Not that the data Brad Parscale (a former basketball player himself) used to pinpoint and outmaneuver Clinton's data team has anything to do with the data I've used for basketball rankings of course.

Ah yes, the site that "outmaneuvers" by suppressing minority voters through lies and deceptively edited videos.  Lovely.  Funny how your side are big proponents of the Constitution and individual rights, except when it works to your advantage not to be.

I do not support that site as I find it to be much of what is wrong in this nation (natural news et al., also), but I do support John Pudner, so gave it a read.

Interesting, but based on the rankings it seems as if there isn't enough data at this juncture as several teams are being greatly over-valued (e.g. Cincinnati, Wichita State, MSU and Arkansas), then again it does pick up Oregon as solid despite a rough start, so watch those teams I list to go on a tear. 

Thanks for the post.

Fair point on the data. In some cases I am looking at the three games a guy is back from an injury or semester transfer and giving a rough projection of how he does playing the entire rest of the year. Will see how it plays out.

Yeah, Im destined to be hated by many haha. I get Breitbart readers mad I'm writing about basketball all the time and rarely write about politics anymore, them I get some muscoop readers mad I post some of my stuff on Breitbart. Hey, I've been thrilled when Fox sports, SI and others have covered www.valueaddbasketball.com, but this is my free time fun to take a break from my paid work at www.takeback.org.

Peace for the new year :-)
