Are we not to read anything into the order in which you list the “Others rec’ing consideration” … or do you really rank Dayton #26?
One team that is still “in” according to some bracketologists is Illinois … even after yesterday’s embarrassment vs Wisconsin. I believe you are correct in not even listing them. At 18-13, they’ve lost 5 of last 6 … how can they be in the field of 65 at this point??? I suppose I should be asking Andy Katz.
Oh … and didn’t the loss to South Florida completely seal the coffin AND bury UConn???
Do NOT read anything into the order. Basically, I am looking at the previous week’s and copying and pasting and deleting anyone that moved on to the list. As far as UConn goes, I considered them as far as yeah…they should be out. 🙂
Is Gonzaga going to drop? Should they?
