Musberger said this is the 1st time since '48-'49

That 5 #1's have gone down before Feb. since the '48-'49 season.

Obviously I dont need to tell you guys who won it all that yr.!!!

 

[the nail at the foul line]

Send the trophy.

Interesting factoid providing it's true.

 

[Smashcat]

Interesting.
Blown away Iowa State hasn't beaten a #1 since the 50s. Some don't realize just how good we've got it.

I think what it says is that its wide open this yr and if UK can get it together there is still time to make a deep late March run.

If Musberger said that he is an idiot. There were only 8 polls that season.

1st poll January 18th St Louis Was #1
2nd poll January 25th St Louis was #1
3rd poll February 1st UK went to #1 and stayed there the last 5 weeks of the season to end up #1.

PS: If Musberger did not say that he is still an idiot.

Regardless of what happened in '49, it's pretty clear that this season is the most open we've seen at the top in a very long time.

Good homework there.

Yep, there is definitely time. The storylines are a little different but Cal has proven he can take a team like this and make a run. I'm watching the rest of the season waiting to see if he figures this one out.

Minus the NIT debacle, we've had dominant teams and then we've had teams like this one. Both are enjoyable to watch for different reasons IMO.

Yes, FYI, below is the AP rankings for that season (screenshot from a website I used to run but no longer maintain).

Note that they didn't start voting until well after the season was already in progress.

Well damn....the old geezer definately said that.
