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

[ABEHONEST]

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?

1. Auburn
2. Zags
3. Kentucky

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

No. We'll see if Kentucky leapfrog Purdue though

[jjgold]

Rankings mean nothing

Neutral courts tourney can change things

Baylor and UCLA very overrated

[stake1]

Kenpom's current rankings have the Zags at 1, Az at 2 and Kentucky at 3. no way Auburn is not 1 though this week

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.

Kenpom's current rankings have the Zags at 1, Az at 2 and Kentucky at 3. no way Auburn is not 1 though this week

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.

[johnnyvegas13]

My top 3 right now

Duke Kentucky Kansas ...

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?

[ABEHONEST]

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

[ABEHONEST]

Well, it's official and Stake is right again.
