While most of us would think this is good news, leave it to the student press to point out the flaws in the AP (not that I’ve ever complained about college rankings or anything).
Justin Verrier of UConn’s The Daily Campus, seems a little frustrated that his team didn’t make the top 25 and is convinced that Ohio State is overrated. Personally, I think he has a case of Buckeye envy.
Don’t worry Justin, it’s not too late to transfer. And from what I understand, Ohio State has a pretty good journalism program also.
I’ll be the first to admit that Ohio State’s basketball team needs to be more consistent but their body of work is still deserving of top 5. One could argue UCLA deserves to ranked higher I guess but not Kansas who lost to 3 unranked teams. Also, UCONN just lost 3 straight to unranked teams. They deserved to drop out.
