NCAA's Net Basketball Rankings

[tOSUGrad90]

This is the new formula used by the NCAA Tournament Selection Committee, and replaces the RPI:

It's too early in the season to take any poll or ranking seriously.

 

[tOSUGrad90]

Yet, here you were...on this very board...posting some stupid, fabricated, preseason "ranking" to which nobody outside of ESPiN pays any attention. Let's review these early NCAA rankings:

1. Ohio State

89. Marshall

141. WVU

Since you take a ranking so seriously in November when the season isn't over until April............go ahead and make your travel plans now to Minneapolis so you can watch your team play in the Final Four.

I'm sure a big high falutin' Ahia State educated law firm owner like yourself wouldn't want to miss it.

UNLV beats Utah State by 5 points @ home and jumps from 155 to 47?

Ohio State has wins over Creighton, SC State, Samford and Cleveland State to rocket to #1. Oh, forgot Cincinnati in their refurbished gym.

Yeah, PRESEASON ESPiN "rankings" are more reliable than the formula actually used by the selection committee, right?. No, Ohio State is not likely Final Four-bound this season, but the Buckeyes also aren't the sh!tty ranking that you posted before the season started, and the Old Fold & Blew was incredibly overrated in every preseason "poll." Ohio State will likely make the NCAA tournament this season, and go on a deep run in 2019-2020, as the three freshmen coming in next season are all five or high four star recruits, depending on which service you believe. WVU misses Jevon Carter immensely, and will be lucky to go dancing at all this season.

The wins at Cincinnati and Creighton are very good wins, and far better than any WVU win. Cincinnati has been better under Cronin than tHuggs the past two seasons, and Creighton is virtually unbeatable at home in November. Sorry to crush you with facts. Again, this is the formula to be used by the NCAA Tournament Selection Committee, so you should pay attention to it, especially with two mid-major losses on your fake favorite school's resume already.

This was supposed to be a discussion about the poll, but it's just another same old song and dance.

 

[old buzzard]

..............No, Ohio State is not likely Final Four-bound this season...............................

So to make a long story short, (which is what I did by editing your babbling quote), you agree that polls less than one month into a 5 month long season are useless.

WVU fans in preseason “Huggins is elite and we are Final 4 bound, we are preseason top 15.”
After polls are released and you get beat by two mid-majors after the season starts- “Preseason rankings are a waste of time”

You haven't seen me talking about WVU being Final 4 bound this year. And if you research my posts you'd be hard pressed to find me touting any early season poll in either major sport. As for Huggins, there is no doubt that he will be in the coaching Hall of Fame,it's only a matter of time. And besides that, you'd cum down your leg to have him coaching at Marshall.

 

[westsiderSJHS77]

Me either.

The human polls are out, too. Ohio State is ranked No. 16, and WVU isn't ranked. Of course, only a ESPiN preseason formula, which laughably ranked WVU No. 6, is the only credible "ranking."

Once again you prove my point that early season and pre-season polls and rankings are pointless. Good thing that you've said that the law firm you own doesn't specialize in trials.............because you're really not very good at making your case.

 

[tOSUGrad90]

You have no valid point, Buzzard. You pounded your frail chest over a preseason "ranking" that might as well have been concocted in your basement, but now that games have actually been played, the Fold & Blew has been exposed as an overrated fraud, and Ohio State and its fantastic new coach has been vastly undervalued, just as they had been before last season.

This is a WVU board....no one gives a shit about the suckeyes or suckeye basketball.

Why doesnt shit for brains get this?
