CBS Basketball Blogpoll Ballot: Final regular season poll

This is the final regular season basketball blogpoll.  I am still evaluating teams just like I have been all season, and that's how things will be reflected in my ballot.  Even though there are a number of teams that maybe got higher or lower seeds than their ranking would indicate, I didn't factor that in at all.

I will update this space with the aggregated results when they become available.

[UPDATE]:  OK, here is the link to the final results.  The Blogpoll will be on hiatus until after the NCAA tournament.

Comments:

  • Pittsburgh still manages to stay on top, despite me gigging them for recent defeats.  That's just a measure of how strong they are.
  • I was reluctant to move Memphis up to #2, but I think they deserve it.
  • Louisville has a case for the best team in the land.  Just not enough of one.
  • North Carolina looks vulnerable if Lawson isn't 100%.
  • Will Price's absence doom the Huskies to "also ran" status?
  • Missouri had a great finish to the season.  If they can continue, they will be very dangerous in the tournament.
  • You have to like what Syracuse is doing lately.
  • Utah is a huge sleeper.  Dangerous team.

Best

poll I have seen Tru. Don’t feel bad about Memphis. I have watched them play and yeah its CUSA but they are very dangerous. Loaded with senior leadership. I really do think they are the best team. Haven’t watched PItt though that much. Heard alot of people picking them to win it all. Glad LSU isn’t on there. They have really fallen off the radar. They beat us but were too tired to beat MSU who isn’t that good. Very good poll

I don't care who is coach as long as Kentucky is Kentucky!

Louisville PLAYING The Best But

North Carolina (if all R healthy) still probably the best team.

I don’t think UL will make it past Wake.

Ehh

I’m not liking Memphis at #2 sorry but they play in CUSA no where in league with the competition level of the Big East. I’d have them maybe at #5. Other then that very good picks.

I would go a bit farther...

and say the C-USA is nowhere in league with the SEC.
