Anti-Pac-10 Bias
the AP poll got it right and somehow the coaches got it wrong. sure, i’m a biased fan, but who had a better week than stanford?
- defeated the no. 25 team in the country (USC) on thursday by 15 points
- defeated the no. 2 team in the country (UCLA) on saturday by 7 points
sounds a little bit like shady coach voters to me:
- texas defeated an unranked nebraska team by one and an unranked BAYLOR team by five. they move into the top 25.
- kentucky was #25 in the coaches poll last week, they lost to an unranked georgia team and defeated tennessee by a bunch. they moved UP one spot to 24?
- indiana was @24 in the coaches poll last week, they lost to illinois and beat michigan (both unranked), they stayed on the top 25?
- unlv was unranked, they defeated the national powerhouses san diego state and new mexico, earning them a ranking?
i think the rest of the country has to get used to the fact that the pac-10 is a monster conference this year. it is deep, talented, and (actually) gritty. anyone who watched the game last night should be able to see that a ucla team who has beaten up on other top 25 teams this year, had real trouble against us in the second half. we deserve to be AT LEAST in the top 25.
