Realize it's early, but how does WBB slip 4 while Baylor slips 1?

Let's see. We lost at now #5 Oregon, and we drop 4 spots. Baylor loses at now #6 Stanford, and drops just 1 spot, putting them one spot ahead of us.

Even with Texas and Marguette losing I don't see any real rhyme or reason to the difference in drop. Anybody make sense of this?

I realize there is plenty of bb to be played, etc, but I don't have a whole lot of faith in the pollsters, so why should I think these same folks will suddenly start making sense later in the season?

I hadn't paid any attention to the last round or two of rankings but I saw that when I just went to espn to look at the boxscore. I thought the same thing. The reason is simple, there's only about a cpl hundred ppl in the country that know the first thing about real college wbb outside of their own area code. The good thing is that rankings really don't matter right now. Still I like the acknowledgment of having one of the best 3-4 teams out there.

I wouldn't try to look too deeply into those polls. It's just opinion. I pay attention to the bracketology that Charlie Creme does because that's what really matters. Those polls are relics that have hung around for too long. It's better to use metrics to rank teams.
