"50) West Va As we said before, until they play a decent team, they get no respect here"

And yet Minnesota gets a #10 ranking. WVU spanked a pretty good Duquesne team that is better than anyone the Gophers have played and WVU has a far better average margin of victory.

Not that it's like wch.com to be inconsistent....

And the Buffs sure went from not in the top 50 to #14 in a hurry w/out a word of explanation.

KV: Supposedly, wch.com has been blasted by CU fans for the disrespect that the Buffs get. http://hoopscoop.net/ubb/confused.gif

Actually, the Boilers play at Notre Dame (still in the Big East last time I checked) Saturday, then visit Michigan State Monday and Wisconsin January 9 before returning to Mackey Arena for the Jan. 12 conference home opener against Michigan.
