Couple of tough decisions this week. What do you do with Georgia Tech? They beat Wake and lost to Maryland. The Terrapins have been so unpredictable. I think I put both schools too low. I think in retrospect I should have had them at 20 and 21. I think Texas is in rough shape without P.J. Tucker, but we'll see. After yesterday's loss to Notre Dame, I thought long and hard about whether or not to bounce UConn. The Huskies just aren't that good. I predict it will take another loss for them to get bounced from the full poll, but I knocked them out.
