Ha! And there it is- why are you the #1 team? You were #8 after back to back losses to Tennessee and UNC. Why are you #1 now? Because you BEAT the 7 teams ahead of you? No. Because the 7 teams ahead of you had to play tough schedules and you got to go on a blowout run of "Little Sisters of the Poor," "Nowhere U," and "Mama Johnson's School for the Blind."
You can't use "Number one team in the country" as ANY kind of evidence or basis for any argument. We all know how polls work. Here's a ratings system you'd like...

It's called the Pugh Ratings. He takes into account the garbage teams you've played and doesn't give credit for beating up on elementary kids during recess. I actually like this rating system to some degree, especially in the way he rates Gonzaga.
