College Basketball BlogPoll breakdown, Week "6"

Mon, 16 Mar 2009 15:04:51 EDT

For some reason, our total number of votes in the BlogPoll dipped a bit this week. I'm not sure why, since it's not like there's anything happening in the world of college basketball that would distract our loyal cadre of bloggers from ...

Oh, right. That Tournament thing. That thing with the brackets, and the 32 games in two days, and the Gus Johnson and Bill Raftery calls, and the North Dakota St.'s, and the Big 12 vs. the Ivy League, and the North Carolina fast breaks and Eric Maynor floaters and Blake Girffin monsterjams and John Calipari's hair and the net-cutting and the "One Shining Moment" ... right, that thing, the best annual sporting event in America. I guess that's as good an excuse as any.

Those of us who did pull ourselves away from our brackets long enough to fill out a ballot combined to come up with this: BlogPoll Week 6 Rank Team PPB StdDev Delta 1 Louisville (16) 24.0 1.4 4 2 North Carolina (6) 23.4 1.3 -- 3 Pittsburgh (4) 23.2 1.1 2 4 Memphis (3) 22.3 1.8 -- 5 Connecticut 21.5 0.8 2 6 Duke 19.4 1.7 2 7 Michigan St. 18.4 1.3 1 8 Oklahoma 17.6 2.6 1 9 Missouri 16.1 2.3 5 10 Villanova 14.2 3.7 1 11 Kansas 13.6 3.0 1 12 Wake Forest 13.6 3.1 3 13 Gonzaga 13.4 4.1 1 14 Syracuse 11.4 4.3 6 15 Washington 11.2 2.7 2 16 Purdue 8.8 3.9 7 17 Florida St. 7.7 3.7 7 18 UCLA 7.2 3.9 3 19 Arizona St. 6.6 4.2 2 20 Xavier 4.6 3.5 2 21 Clemson 4.3 3.9 5 22 Butler 3.7 3.8 3 23 Marquette 3.1 3.6 6 24 West Virginia 2.9 3.9 2 25 Utah 2.5 2.9 1

College Basketball BlogPoll Breakdown, Week "4"

It speaks to the delightful insanity of the late college hoops season that this past week was a relatively sane one as far as these things go--heavyweights like UConn, Memphis, Duke, Louisville, and Michigan St. all faced strenuous road tests and all came out clean on the other side.

Of course, this is the late college hoops season, so of course we also got No. 1 Pitt going down at Providence, Arizona St. losing to Wazzu at the buzzer, LSU walking out of Rupp with a win after a last-gasp Tasmin Mitchell three ... so we are talking "sane" for given level of "sane" here.

When the dust settled, your BlogPoll voters voted and came away with this: BlogPoll Week 4 Rank Team PPB StdDev Delta 1 Connecticut (32) 24.6 0.7 1 2 North Carolina (4) 23.0 1.4 2 3 Pittsburgh (2) 22.7 1.3 2 4 Memphis (3) 21.8 2.2 1 5 Oklahoma (1) 21.1 2.0 2 6 Louisville 20.4 1.6 -- 7 Duke 18.3 3.1 -- 8 Michigan St. 17.9 1.6 1 9 Kansas 16.7 2.8 6 10 Wake Forest 14.1 3.2 4 11 Villanova 12.6 3.7 1 12 Missouri 12.1 3.5 4 13 Gonzaga 11.4 4.2 3 14 Marquette 10.9 3.8 3 15 Louisiana St. 9.5 4.2 6 16 Washington 9.1 4.1 3 17 Clemson 8.6 4.4 5 18 UCLA 8.2 4.4 2 19 Purdue 8.0 3.6 2 20 Arizona St. 7.1 4.1 7 21 Xavier 7.0 3.8 1 22 Butler 5.0 4.9 2 23 Illinois 4.1 3.6 5 24 Florida St. 3.8 4.0 2 25 Brigham Young 1.8 3.4 1

"Nobody said it was easy / No one ever said it would be this hard." --Coldplay

Contrary to public opinion, what Mr. Gwyneth Paltrow was actually singing about in the above lyric wasn't love or relationships or any of that silly piffle. No, he was talking about the very serious business of trying to fill out a college basketball BlogPoll ballot after a week in which a full third of last week's poll dropped at least one contest ... only for several of the would-be new entrants to suffer their own pratfalls.

But because we take our jobs seriously here at the BlogPoll, we muddled through somehow, and this is what we collectively came up with in Week 3: BlogPoll Week 3

College Basketball BlogPoll Breakdown, Week "2"

Mon, 16 Feb 2009 14:27:20 EST

So far, so good.

In Week 1 of the CBSsports.com college basketball BlogPoll, voters advised buying low on Missouri , who went on to hand Kansas their first Big 12 loss; Villanova , who dispatched of higher-ranked Marquette with the proverbial authoritah ; and Arizona St. (21 BlogPoll, 24/23 AP/Coaches), who swept UCLA and USC to thrust themselves firmly into the Pac-10 title race. Of course, BlogPoll voters were also slightly higher on UCLA than the mainstream polls ... but you can't win 'em all.

This week's results look like so: BlogPoll Week 2
