Apparently some writers don’t take ther AP Poll ballot as seriously as fans would like them to. (Thanks to TheBigLead for the heads up.)
- First, Parrish Alford, of the NE Mississippi Daily Journal, still thinks Louisville is #13 while Kentucky is #24. (And here I could’ve sworn that I saw Kentucky score at will against the Cards D on Saturday night and beat them 40-34.)
- Second, there is Aditi Kinkhabwala, of the Bergen (NJ) Record, who has 5 Big East teams in the Top 25—including Rutgers, who hasn’t played anyone, at #9.
- Third, Wayne Phillips, of The Greeneville (TN) Sun, has Louisville #16 and Kentucky unranked; he also has UCLA and Georgia Tech still ranked after their craptacular performances on Saturday.
- Fourth and finally we give you Jon Wilner, of the San Jose (Calif.) Mercury News, who ranks South Carolina #4 (WTF), Alabama at #6 (again, WTF), and has Georgia Tech at #25 and Kentucky unranked.
In other news, apparently the Associated Press doesn’t really care that USC SID Tim Tessalone has asked that we not be referred to as “Southern Cal.” [page 2, bottom right]

That whole “Southern Cal” thing has been going on for a couple of years now. I think ignoring it is just a surreptitious way haters express their frustration over USC’s dominance.
