    yeah, the big ten is way overrated. a bunch of mediocre teams if you ask me. they have 4 teams tied for first

    I agree about Big 10...Not really mediocre, but overrated.

    And...Colorado?

    Once you get past the top four teams (if that) in the rankings, you could rate the rest of us anywhere. The Big Ten is no better or worse than anyone else. It will, however, make for a great tournament of close games and mini-upsets. Other than Duke, who tends to keep their players, some team will win and all their underclassmen will go pro.

    So enjoy your run... against a world of over-rated teams.:shock:

    Are you saying the Zags are not a Top 5 team?

    Think of it this way. We are ranked ahead of Kansas, North Carolina, Syracuse, and Kentucky for probably the first time in the history of college bb.

    I don't know....
    They beat Michigan State in triple overtime, lost to Washington, then Memphis by 11... beat San Diego by 1, St. Louis by 3, and Okie State by 2.

    You tell me where to rank them... that's my point.

    They do have a top 5 player.
