It's ridiculous. People like Jay Bilas says it's absurd Louisville isn't ranked. What do they have to do? Why are there reservations?
I agree the AP and coaches polls mean little but they are like grades each week during a long season. Having that number next to your name means you're a good team. The higher the number the better team you are.
As for the NET or any other computer ranking, why is Louisville in the 30's? Why aren't they in the 20's with the strength of schedule and no bad losses? They also have at least 4 quad 1 & 2 wins.
What do these voters want? Do they not look ahead and see Louisville's remaining schedule and notice it's nowhere near as difficult as it was through the first six ACC games?
Shouldn't they expect Louisville to win more games? It's not like some team getting ranked after starting 10 and 1 with 7 cupcake wins, only to have a rugged remaining schedule against multiple ranked teams.
There shouldn't be any doubt that Louisville is a top 25 team and why they're hesitant to vote for the Cards leads to accusations of bias.
