Indiana was ranked 20th.
The “experts” have no clue in this NIL era.

Are you under the impression that, before the NIL era, the pollsters always got the correct preseason #1?

Fair point.
But they missed badly on Indiana.

I don’t think I even looked at the preseason poll.

Every section of the AP is a joke full of idiots. Just Democrat mouthpieces.

South Carolina was #13

So you expect the press to be accurate?

Yes, I do remember that. It’s hard not to be aware of that just based on reading news online. But I know I didn’t pull up the poll and actually read it.

This 28 year old Rhode Island native in Raleigh is an ‘expert’ AP voter. That’s the problem. Nothing against Kate, but how many games do you think she watches/reviews each week? How much does she really know about the game? Give me a break. Posted on 1/1/26 at 9:12 pm to junkyarddawg3
