War Eagle!
1st time poster but always read the action on the forum. I think this is a great poll because it recognizes what we have done this season (number of #1 votes) but keeps us hungry because we are not the top dog. We do need to keep improving so we can peak at the right time - hopefully in time to take the SEC tournament then off to the dance.
As far as the latest poll voting goes, these were the voters that had Gonzaga #1 but AU at a lower ranking:
Rank
Voter
3
Bryce Miller (San Diego Union-Tribune)
Stephen Tsai (Honolulu Star Advertiser)
Steve Greenberg (Chicago Sun-Times)
4
Bret Bloomquist (El Paso Times)
Marcus Fuller (St. Paul Pioneer Press)
6
Jon Wilner (San Jose Mercury News)
9
Jesse Newell (Kansas City Star)
Based on the voting (1 = 25, 2 = 24, etc), these 7 individuals accounted for 25 pt difference... We shall see what happens in the next few weeks if we both keep winning.
In the end, the AP poll is not what determines seeding for the dance, so the most important thing we can do is keep getting better and hoping that translates to us still winning each game.
