Kind of perplexing to me the differences in the AP vs. coaches. Why would Ohio State be ahead of us in any poll after we beat them recently and considering that they lost to two other teams we beat (Kansas, Illinois) Why is Syracuse, a team that has lost 2 straight games ahead of us in any poll? Same with Louisville, bearing a 3-2 record in the last 5 games? The rest I can live with but those make me scratch my head in wonder.
At the end of the day I realize it doesn’t matter in early February, but MSU is really not getting much respect in the AP poll. I’m just saying…
cause the media is scUM lovers, they always have been, and always will be. after we beat scUM on 2/12. things will change.
ditto.
