Gonzaga climbed three more spots in the polls, settling in at 14th in the A.P. and ESPN/USA Today rankings. Saint Mary’s checks in at 26th, just outside the ESPN/USA Today’s top 25. That’s up 11 spots from a week ago, if my math is correct.

More here.

Heading over to GU soon for media day and All-WCC announcements. More later.

Sure doesn’t match the Bracketology very well does it?

I doesn’t. I would be happy with a 5 or a 6 if I was Few. It can be lower than that.

The polls are predictable. The Zags are usually ranked higher than their bid is because they win a ton of games during conference, and inch up in the polls every weak, while other teams drop some games in conference.

Polls will reward bad a two point win to a bad team. The comittee will not.
