The TSN Power Poll is determined by TSN editors

 

Tsn is mostly a baseball magazine.

 

nope i read it it more then just baseball magazine in the magazine they talkl about every soprt

 

I must admit UNC is going to be good but for TSN to have them at number 7 already and ahead of us is just plain ridiculous.

 

first of all UCLA is not as good as Kansas btw when you guys played UCLA why was the game not played in UCLA

 

Kansas isn't looking very good this year. If Heinrich has a bad game Kansas loses period. Somebody has to get Collison the ball and Heinrich seems to be the only one who can. Stanford is OK. Jury is still out on ODU and Rutgers. Yeah Kansas WAS ranked high but now it appears they were way overated. Not that Duke has played anybody but IMO neither has UNC.

 

you guys only beat Davidson by 15 and it was even 5 pointe lead for duke with 1:30 to end the game

 

You act like Davidson is bad. They have been playing everyone tough.

 

Davidson is not that bad but there not as good as you guys or i am worng and they more good the duke you guys are number 4 in AP and you only beat Davidson by 15 a game that you couid have lost if had vote i wouid pot you guys out of top 10 in the AP poll

 

If you want to play that game you barely beat Rutgers who really are not that good. You should not be ranked.

BTW we beat Davidson by 15. Hardly barely.

Davidson has been blowing out other teams out by 50 points. That is huge in Div I no matter who is playing.
