On Second Thought, I Am Not Happy Buffalo Is 14th in Latest AP Poll, Because Ball Does Lie

The Buffalo Bulls are ranked 14th in the latest AP poll. And the coach’s poll. They rose a few spots in each poll, and my initial reaction was that is good news. But then I gave it further thought, and got a little angry. I am old school. I might have looked at the RPI rankings, saw Buffalo was 14 and moved on. However, we are on the dawn of a new age, and the NCAA tournament now looks at “Net Rankings”, whatever that means, and Buffalo is 10th. Again, I am old school and I don’t know what all that means, I just follow the eye test after watching basketball for 4 decades.
