Davidson, who fell two points short of earning a trip to the Final Four, finished #1 in their final poll. Butler finished #2. Western Kentucky and Drake were #3 and #4, and Gonzaga rounded out the top 5.

How can that list have Rider ranked #25, but not even have Bradley ranked in that top 25?

Rider lost to Old Dominion in the first round of the CBI, but the Braves made it to the CBI Finals.

How did Rider move up to #25, when we got left off the list altogether?

That list is totally horse crap.

Finally we be seein a true student athlete list without them wacky tobaccy programs them plains steroid cornfed programs them hollywood silicon sunshine sinnin programs and them elvis mafia bankrollin programs.

Davidson be usin them professional ahtletes from them Charlotte Hornets. They be pluggin him into them machine and then be winnin games. That aint be no student athletes. Butler be beein the real number one program. Butler aint be payin them athletes. Them athletes be eatin real food and not them dna ingineerin stuf and them Butlera athletes be real students.
