Complete Bullshit!

This week in the college basketball rankings, neither Wisconsin or Marquette moved into the Top 25. This is absolute horseshit!!!!!!

Wisconsin was barely out of the Top 25 last week, had a huge win over #12 ranked Ohio State and still didn't get in. On the other hand, #12 Ohio State only dropped to........ drumroll please..... #12!!!!! How the fuck does that work? Wisconsin is basically tied with Ohio State and #8 Illinois at 1/2 game back from the lead in the Big Ten conference at 8-4 and still isn't ranked. They are a full game ahead of #16 Michigan State in those very same rankings. This is ridiculous.

Marquette is coming off a huge week in which it upset not only #17 Georgetown, but # 9 Pitt as well. Georgetown slid down to #23, but Pitt is still #10. Marquette is 8-5 in the Big East, currently a huge conference, and 18-8 overall. No one expected them to even get 4 conference wins this season let alone 8 wins with 3 conference games remaining. Even their recent losses, at #2 Villanova and at #10 Pitt, were very close games.

I think this shows how fucked up the college rankings are right now. Personally, I think Gonzaga sucks balls and should in no way even be close to #5. And who the fuck cares that George Washington is 22-1, they play in the English Nancy Boy League otherwise known as the Atlantic 10 (sorry, I'm angry, I still like watching good basketball and the A10 is generally good basketball, they just can't compare with the talent level from bigger conferences).

Hopefully in the next few weeks when the conference championships are done and the brackets are all filled out, the Big Ten and the new Big East will do what they should (and in the Big Ten's case, what they usually do) and whoop the crap out of all the other conferences in the NCAA Tournament.

*Of course now that I've said all this, watch the Badgers and Golden Eagles struggle over the next couple weeks with their supremely difficult schedules. Figures.*

PS, I look like a Jackass. At least Gonzaga went out like a pussy. I will always remember with love the sight of Adam Morrison crying on the court before the game ended. Awesome!
