One guy in Kansas City kept Auburn from being AP #1 for the first time in history.

59 of the 60 AP ballots had Auburn in the top 4. The only once that didn’t, Jesse Newell, the Kansas beat writer for the Kansas City Star, who ranked them…..
9th.
9th.
29

Going to have to beat UK to get there. Nice motivation.

I guess he is unfamiliar with the Auburn memes.

Guy is a total tool. Probably salty about what Auburn did to the Jayhawks in the tournament a few years ago

Still mad Auburn was beating Kansas by almost 30 at half in the tourney.

It's really frustrating, but now we know that if we don't beat UK this weekend we probably won't get to #1 without winning the entire thing.
They'll have some extra motivation Saturday.
EDIT: Dude had us #8 last week. He dropped us for beating the team he has ranked #17 on the road and winning at Ole Miss.

Auburn fans are emotional about it.
But he essentially uses Kenpom to cast his vote. We’re 9th on Kenpom. He’s openly said this is what he does and as long as he consistently does it, I have no problem with it.

He has link on his Twitter bio on why he didn't vote Auburn in the top 25 in 2020.

But he doesn't follow it exactly. Just look at his ballot.

Who gives a shite. Rankings are a beauty contest anyway.

That’s just dumb though. Isn’t Kenpom supposed to be predictive? If you’re going to have a vote then don’t be a lazy arse.

I live in the KC metro and I've never heard of this dude....but then again I quit reading the Kansas City Red Star 15 years ago.

Is this where Auburn's Mass Formation Hypothesis that they're now a basketball school hangs out?
Posted on 1/17/22 at 11:49 am to DayBowBow
Based.
I thought Auburn was ranked #1 at one point in 1999 though?

Most AP 1st place votes. Are we supposed to act like UGA fans about basketball?

WGAS at this point of the season? It’s an early season poll. Who cares?

If you want to audit the guys ballots, then go ahead. I don’t care enough to do it. This ballot however is consistent as the rankings he uses have us 7-10 but mostly more towards the 9 spot.
He’s got like 4 rankings he uses and let’s the ones he deems more successful to influence his vote more. So that gives him some wiggle room to be inconsistent.

We certainly have no Dawg in the hoops fight, but this is crazy. AU either #1.....or #9?? Come on Jesse, dam!
