1 University of Kansas Logo Kansas Postseason polls are dumb.
2 University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Logo North Carolina The tournament is over, there are no games left, everyone already knows the results.
3 Baylor University Logo Baylor At this point, a poll is useless.
4 Providence College Logo Providence So I don't see any reason why one methodology is better than another at this point.
5 Duke University Logo Duke There are so many ways you can go with a postseason poll.
6 Creighton University Logo Creighton You could treat tournament games the same as any other game, but this seems pretty dumb and can lead to weird results,
7 San Diego State University Logo San Diego State like the champion not being #1.
8 University of California, Los Angeles Logo UCLA Nobody cares about the regular season anymore, so why consider it at all?
9 Texas Tech University Logo Texas Tech So since I have been given the opportunity to submit a pointless ballot, I am going to do it as dumbly yet sensibly as possible.
10 South Dakota State University Logo South Dakota State Teams are ranked based on total tournament transitive point differential from the national champion.
11 University of Akron Logo Akron For example, Duke lost to UNC by 4 who lost to Kansas by 3, so their score is 7.
12 Villanova University Logo Villanova OT games count as a 0.5 point margin regardless of the final score.
13 University of Arkansas Logo Arkansas The first tiebreaker is round reached.
14 Michigan State University Logo Michigan State The next tiebreaker (only needed to tiebreak SDSU and Akron) is number of games in the transitive loss path to the champion.

16 University of Notre Dame Logo Notre Dame Have a great offseason everyone, can't wait till November when we get to do it all again.
