Postseason polls are dumb. |
2 |

The tournament is over, there are no games left, everyone already knows the results. |
3 |
![]() |
At this point, a poll is useless. |
4 |

So I don't see any reason why one methodology is better than another at this point. |

There are so many ways you can go with a postseason poll. |

You could treat tournament games the same as any other game, but this seems pretty dumb and can lead to weird results, |

like the champion not being #1. |

Nobody cares about the regular season anymore, so why consider it at all? |

Teams are ranked based on total tournament transitive point differential from the national champion. |

For example, Duke lost to UNC by 4 who lost to Kansas by 3, so their score is 7. |

OT games count as a 0.5 point margin regardless of the final score. |
13 |
![]() |
The first tiebreaker is round reached. |
14 |
![]() |
The next tiebreaker (only needed to tiebreak SDSU and Akron) is number of games in the transitive loss path to the champion. |

Is this a terrible poll? Yes. Do I care? No. |
