It's nice to see us in here even though I know most on the site don't like the mid-major top 25 as they think it's irrelevant.
Don't get me wrong I totally know where they are coming from but all polls are essentially irrelevant as we decide a champion on the court in college basketball!

The only reason BYU is now in this poll, is because their football program went as an independent and basketball went to a mid-major league.

It's voted on by coaches so I don't see a problem with it. It means we're getting respect from other programs. (This week.)

As most of you know the former UWGB coach (also a former MU Ass't) is now at Toledo. UWGB has been very impressive, so far. Fouse looked good at the WBY shootout 2 years ago.

ALSO, Drexel is coached by the former UMASS coach Bruiser Flint, who is originally from Philly. My nephew says that he does a great job recruiting there.

Facetious? They have wins against Clemson, LSU, and BYU and they absolutely crushed New Mexico.

Lot of impressive wins so far, Huh? ie) see what superking typed. thanks for letting me foot note you in this blog.. What is there to respond to? I was acknowledging a very impressive early season record. UMASS's record and who they have defeated speaks for itself. I was glad that someone brought that to my attention. Have seen UMASS through the years. Saw Calipari's first team lose to the Dukes, at the Palumbo Center, in Pittsburgh. I was at the game (That Bill Clinton and Chelsea attended), when GW then coached by Mike Jarvis upset the # 1 UMASS team that featured Marcus Camby. And, saw Bruiser Flint's last team get beat by the Buckeyes at the Schot. I've been following college basketball for over years, and think I can recognize a good record, when it is brought to my attention.

NO WAY are they the 8Th best team in the country. Polls should be started after the first of the new year, and not before.
