The good life

Scene: We're all outside in Gabby's backyard enjoying some Cohiba 25 year anniversary cigars and some Sauza Commemorativo tequila (courtesy of Mrs. March to Madness who totally uses her Mexican/US citizenship travel privileges) watching the final score for the Washington/Stanford game. Mrs. March to Madness rocks and you all need to get a woman like her. Rain is gone. Booze is flowing. And now it is time to pick our top 25 March to Madness ballot for the CBS Sports poll. In the words of so many others, this is not a power poll.

RankTeam
1 Connecticut
2 North Carolina
3 Oklahoma
4 Louisville
5 Duke
6 Pittsburgh
7 Wake Forest
8 Marquette
9 Butler
10 Illinois
11 Xavier
12 Memphis
13 Clemson
14 UCLA
15 Villanova
16 Kansas
17 Purdue
18 Texas
19 Washington
20 Gonzaga
21 Arizona St.
22 Utah St.
23 Utah
24 Davidson
25 Minnesota



Comments - Purdue and Texas needed to be punished. Wow, come on... To get beat like that to Nebraska (Texas) and to make Illinois look that much better (Purdue) is a shame. Win the games you need to win. The others just fell into place with some new editions (Davidson). Davidson we still believe will make a dangerous run in the madness. Comments are welcome as we can change this before the final is released.

What are you thinking not including Michigan State in this poll. As Michigan State is currently, 19-4, #7 in RPI, with the #7 SOS in the nation, two games ahead in the big ten (of which you've included 3 teams), is 5-1 against teams in your top 25 poll, and won two games this week by an average of 28.5 points (including a 29 point victory over your #25 team, which concluded a regular season sweep of Minnesota), I'll assume this is just an oversight.
