    Guess what 3 teams will be ranked in that order this Monday?

    1. Easy pick: Gonzaga, who is trying to make me look foolish after 4 straight wins by 30 or more.
    2. Purdue: Still climbing with huge wins
    3. Auburn: Their large bubble was nearly a big burst but is still a top 3 threat.

    Try your top 3 rankings in order?

    Very rarely the #1 team ranked wins the national championship. Look at Georgia. #3 in final poll and wins the BCS in football.

    Who won last year's March Madness? Not #1 team.

    Right, and look how far they have fallen in 2 weeks. Baylor.
    Injuries I think, but come on?

    Will they drop Auburn from number 1 spot when they didn’t lose?

    Good question?
    They should have lost to a now 6/17 non-top 50 Georgia team. Meanwhile, the Zags are going through teams like a hot buttered knife.
    I shoulfd have picked the top 4 teams for this Monday instead of 3 because Arizona willl likely be #4. Kentucky over AZ. right now?
    I doubt it.
    And we have go with the AP poll, Monday.

    With 2 squeakers against downright dogs, a 1 against Mo. and a 2 against Georgia. I have to think so.
    Especially when you compare the past 2 weeks' win margins with the Zag's.

    Wow! Forget the AP polls you say?
    Now if only you could bet those 3 in that order. 1000/1.

    Stake, you whipped me to a pulp.
    I hate to be wrong on sports predictions but I'm afraid I getting used to it lately.

    1. Auburm by 33 points over the Zags
    2. Gonzaga
    3. UCLA???
    * This poll evidently has not been updated?

    What is wrong with these nationally known rankers?
    UCLA has lost 4 games. Crazy so far until we see the truth?
