AP Poll (1-8-18)

2009 seems pretty arbitrary. If we include 2009, Nova has 2 Final Fours and a Champ. WVU has 2 Sweet 16's & a Final Four

They won that one championship and they deserve huge credit for that, but other than that one year they've been pretty poor in the tournament considering where they're usually seeded after going through an easier conference schedule than some others have to deal with

None of those teams should scare anyone. There really aren't any dominant teams this year.

It's not that they scare me but when every night you're playing a top 25 team eventually going to lose one or a couple

No one cares about Sweet 16s or 2nd rounds. All that are remembered are championships and to a lesser extent Final Fours. Everything else is semantics. Sean Miller has the best players money can buy and can’t even make a Final Four. Do you know how hard it is to make Final Fours and win National Championships? To downplay those who accomplish those feats is borderline asinine. Well not borderline. Completely asinine. On top of being ranked in the top 5 5 straight years. Equally impossible to do. If not moreso.

Actually it does matter for teams with a lot of talent that has trouble making it to the sweet 16 or elite 8. Its definitely not a good look.
