What happened? You give up on ending that 54 year curse? Decide that you suck so bad the only thing you can hope for is to watch a DU defeat. It's creepy and sad. It's like you are that crazy / ugly looking ex who starts stalking her former boyfriend. You steal his newspaper once and a while, get into his mail and begs for attention. Meanwhile, he's moved on, is dining with the top girls and is having fun.

And you guys are right ... they probably should be ahead of Michigan.<br /><br />But when we put together the rankings, sometimes you look at a cluster of four teams with similar overall records who had the same weekend results -- split, split, split, split -- and we tend to lean toward treating them all the same.<br /><br />One of these times, we'll get it right.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion (which polls are), your's just happens to be wrong ;-)<br /><br />I don't disagree with with your initial logic that BC very impressively swept BU and should now be ranked ahead of DU (heck, they swept DU earlier too). However, the logic that all teams they jumped over should all be equitably be pushed down one spot doesn't make sense.<br /><br />I posted a detailed analysis of Mich (#11) vs. DU (#12) in the comments for the story just below this one. You can't make a logical argument why Mich is ahead of DU.<br /><br />It seems to me that INCH viewed the BC sweep in a "vacuum" and ignored the results of the teams that BC jumped over. The sentiment is furthered by the general explanation given that, essentially, BC had an impressive sweep and everybody they jumped over got moved down equitably by one spot since they all split. Michigan splittling with tOSU is not as "impressive" as DU splitting Duluth in the DECC (I think it was the grand finale for the DECC too, maybe we could get Old Pio to clarify) ;-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17196208.post-45094535196314712452010-12-07T16:36:29.671-07:002010-12-07T16:36:29.671-07:00LetsGoDU SuperPoll™
