“The Gonzaga Tier” LOL

We face most of the top teams mentioned early in the season so we will have a good sense where we stands by Christmas.

Success, it tastes so sweet.

CBS is not the first national publication who has stated that this years team is far above the rest in CBB.

Okay so the bottom teams are 2500-1 long shots. Two questions:
(1) Is Wazzu really good enough to be in the 1000-1 range?
(2) How did SMC wind up 1500-1?

what a joy to be in this discussion for 5 yrs,
how many of you get discouraged after reading about plague and political problems,
then read about our Zags next right before going to bed to get that hit of happiness last thing of the day?
zags tuck me in with a smile every time i head for sleep.

Unanimous #1 in that AP poll....Wowser!!

Strange that UCLA doesn't even make their top 39 (not even in others getting votes!!!). Is UCLA on any type of probabtion that would keep them off of an AP list? I don't know of any. Any other reason they wouldn't be there?

That is the final AP poll from last season. The AP’s final poll comes out before the NCAA tourney, they do not have a poll after the tournament.

That makes sense...there had to be some explanation


.....although in my (our) defense they have it labeled as a August 2021 updated poll

Gonzaga should hold that same spot in the next AP poll, the preseason poll.

Palm has WSU as a 10 seed. Lunardi has SMC as a 10 seed.

where is the breakdown of Michigan or Baylor? Are they supposed to be a contender?
