The love for 4 loss Arizona is surprising. How they are ranked top twelve with so many more deserving teams is mind boggling

But the Ducks are #55 in NET ranking right now?

Is there anything more irrelevant in sports than the AP Men's Basketball poll? In general, I would prefer my team not to be ranked so they don't read their own headlines. Just win, and the seeding will take care of itself.

I think I know what you mean. I do think, however, that, at least given the Ducks' current (positive) trajectory, the AP poll votes (= 35th) is probably more accurate than the NET.
