Cormac Gordon - Loserhttp://www.pollspeak.com/pollstalker/pollstalker.php?s=14&p=29&t1=42&t2=&v=157&w=1&r=V&o1=&o2=&o3=&o4=&f=&seed=1288285226
Lead Good Voter: Dave Jones Lead Bad Voter: Cormac Gordon
Let me start by telling you that I love Kansas State as much as the next guy ... as long as the next guy isn't ranking Kansas State ahead of Duke this preseason. I can't get with that next guy, because he's really just a look-at-me-I'm-different guy, which brings me to Dave Jones and Kevin Dunleavy.(Sorry, Dave. You did this to yourself, buddy.)Those are the two AP voters who put Kansas State No. 1, and it's the first thing that stood out when I looked at the poll. The reason it stood out is because it can't be intelligently justified. Even those who hate Duke have to acknowledge this roster might be more talented and better equipped than last season's roster to run through the regular season, and last season's roster won the freaking national championship. The Blue Devils have a perfect mix of experience and NBA talent, plus the most accomplished coach in America. So you can like KSU if you want (and I like the Wildcats plenty; I have them in the top five). But what you can't do is have Kansas State ahead of Duke, because, well, that's just silly.
