[QUOTE="Longfrog, post: 3147030, member: 26611"] They drive me nuts. I try to see their side of it, and it's true that we had a couple of very unimpressive performances at home vs UM and Baylor. But we obviously have the best resume over the entire year, which ought to carry a ton of weight at this point in the season. They have us at 4 and Baylor at 5, and they were at pains to explain why they had us ranked ahead, even though our body of work is clearly better. I don't think they have a regional or conference bias, but It's pretty clear that they came into the season thinking Florida, Ohio State, and Baylor were the best teams on paper, and if it's at all close those teams will get the benefit of the doubt. (They also loved Tennessee, but when the Vols lost Bicknell for the season, I think that moved them off their radar a bit.) My counter on Ohio State would be, yes, they are awesome at home like they always are. They have one (1) win away from home vs a top 10 team when they beat Wake at indoors. Florida is scary too, but the SEC is down this year, and they got to face Tennessee when Monday was out. The fact they've played two 4-3 matches vs UT, as badly as the Horns have struggled this year, says a lot. But the men's game is super deep this year and I think they would acknowledge that it wouldn't be a shock to see any of 5 or 6 teams win the outdoor title. [/QUOTE]
