I heard on PTI yesterday that someone voted for Ohio State Buckeyes at number one, instead of being an unanimous decision for the Connecticut Huskies. Did this joker think that college basketball all the sudden adopted the BCS? It is an indefensible move, and of course, this is the only secret poll of the season. Therefore no one will come out and defend why Ohio State is deserving of the number one spot. There are only two ways where I could see a coach making this decision.
One would be that VCU won it all, it's hard to believe a team with a 11 losses deserved to be number one at the end of the year. People spoke out how they took advantage of being in the tournament, but I agree with most that they did not belong based on their resume. The other would have been if Ohio State lost in the Final Four because then they put a good run together beating Kentucky and North Carolina, so I could see someone giving them some credit for their body of work.
I hope this coach defending his decision because I would honestly love to hear his or her thoughts on why the Buckeyes deserved to be number one when they lost in the round of 16. Are we sure my buddy and Big 10 loyalist, Doz doesn't have a vote? By the way, Marquette finished 20th which made me smile.
Update: Found it was Northern Arizona's coach Mike Adras who casted the vote for Ohio State. Still don't agree with his decisions.
