Rockaway: Thanks for your thoughtful analysis that produced an interesting thread and displayed how rational thought had no bearing on poll outcomes. While polls don't tell you how could your team is anymore than US News rankings tell you how good your university is, they do serve as the short-hand answer for how the rest of the world thinks of Georgetown. They also get coverage and a line score in the morning newspaper if you live outside of DC. When my friends ask me how Georgetown is doing this year, it is a lot easier to say we are in the top 25 than to give them my 10 minute disquisition on how long it takes a team to jell and that computers think we are pretty good. Two more wins and maybe we get there. excellent use of disquisition

I would hope that if we win all four games leading up to marquette it'll set up a ranked match up for the 100th anniverasry. In fact i guarantee we will be ranked in time for the celebration.
