Yeah, and they probably should be ranked ahead of Bama as they beat us in Tuscaloosa.  But the thing about basketball rankings is that they are meaningless -- rankings aren't even the standard used for tournament seeding, that would be RPI.

Exactly, so much different than the football polls but so hard to adjust to after suffering through a football season with all the concern on the polls.
