my picks were 1) us 2) sagnasty 3) wichchita 4) Newman 5) UCF
I didn't pick RIT or UNLV because I didn't really see them enough (or them beating us like Newman or UCF).
One school I was impressed by was Weber Int, but left them off cause theyre newbies. I put Mckenndre and Morehead in the top 20, but not the top 10 because of their inconsistency.
I put Penn St Berks 20th just because that one kid wins every tournament.
I put Fresno 10th because you know they will be up there by the end of the year. BTW, I don't get the girls poll, maybe Phillipe will put his selections here later.
Ideas or thoughts?
Have a merry Xmas everyone................................

I have us 5th on the girls side... UCF Wichita McKendree Pikeville us
Those are teams that we just haven't beaten consistently, if at all when we've seen them.
The women's side is a bit tricky because USBC is sanctioning some NCAA tournaments, thus creating power points for those teams. But, I only considered a team if it bowled in an open USBC event, rather than just an NCAA event...So, Central Missouri, Whitewater and Southern were considered...
I placed Fresno and West Texas a bit higher and placed Ball State and Ohio State lower...
For the sake of discussion, here is the complete men's poll. CFU ahead of Sagnasty sorta surprised me...
