After a week that saw the Gauchos lose to UCI for the second straight time this season, UCSB dropped like a stone from #13 in the MM25 to #20. Pacific made a nice leap from #23 to #16 and CSUN dropped from #17 to #18.
In all honesty, I don't even know why I post the Mid-Major Top 25 because it is a fairly ridiculous poll that makes little sense. As Exhibit A, I point to Gonzaga. The 'Zags, no doubt, are good. However, up until last week, they were ranked #1, while Butler was ranked #2. Does that make any sense to you? How is a team in the AP Top 25 ranked below a team in the ORV category of the Top 25? Seriously, who knows?
Exhibit B is CSUN and CSUF. Their records aren't superior by any means, however, CSUF hasn't even received a vote in this poll. Secondly, CSUN, despite being first or tied for first during the entire Big West Conference play has never been ranked as the highest Big West team.
Maybe these coaches know what they're doing, but I seriously question the wisdom of any poll after looking at Exhibit A.
Anyway, check back tomorrow because TGM is looking to do a double post tomorrow. Some more observations from this past week's shitstorm and some, hopefully, insightful analysis.
