This guy who's totally like voting us #9. I mean what the hell? He's not informed and probably a racist. Its a performance.

I couldn't care less about rankings. March Madness will decide what we are. I hope we get a #1 seed. Makes things smoother. That's it.

The only poll that really matters is the final poll.

Not always true when it comes to seeding, but that is done by a different method.



ETA: Also We beat a team Gonzaga lost to (UAlabama) away, They lost to them at a nuetral court (Seattle). So Jesse's reasoning is thrown out the window, Alabama would be ranked higher then.

Replace Auburn in that equation & tell me that explanation makes any sense. I don’t get it.

So Jesse's reasoning is...
... he's lazy arse homer, who obviously doesn't like to follow basketball nationwide, and luckily works for a paper that accepts mediocrity.

And besides being biased, he's been historically proven inept and ignorant enough to think no one would notice.

I'd love a #1 for historical purposes but I'll prefer to see it proven on the Court in April



These two things are not mutually exclusive. We can have both options.

Isn't this the guy who's been arse-hurt about Pearl and AU since we whipped Self and company in 2019

Yeah, I'll partake in everything that comes with the regular season. Polls, November tournaments, stupid brackets, national perception, dumb comments, watching the team grow. All fun to me. Don't come around until March if you think otherwise. Always funny watching the mongos say stuff like "well, polls don't matter anyway." So it's stupid for us to enjoy and overanalyze polls, but not for you to spend time telling us that we shouldn't care, like you're giving us some new information?

Similar situation when we played LSU and LSU was still above us after the game

Up to 4th on KenPom after that. Could change throughout the day but currently the only team in the top 10 of both offensive and defensive efficiency.
