How does the national champion not get all the #1 votes? That's just silly.

UConn might have a vote, if so they cannot vote for themselves. That is the only thing I can think of.

Personally I don't think the final poll should include the tournament. The polls should be about the regular season as a whole and not a single elimination tournament. Though I get the hype for having a final end of tournament poll.

I doubt whoever voted someone else #1 is thinking this way but it's not like UConn is the actual best team in the country. They deserve the title and won a 3 week tournament but that doesn't mandate they are the best team.

No that's exactly what it means, right now uconn is hands down the best team in the country, u can't even argue that. They are clearly the best

You're mistaking hottest with best. They deserve the championship, but its not uncommon in college basketball that the best team isn't champion. And you can't even argue that.

Right now uconn is the best team in the country, they are also the hottest but today and for the whole offseason uconn is number 1. U can't deny that they are the best right now, look who they beat and how they played they won the championship and to say any other team is better right now would be false

You keep throwing in the term "right now". This is a stupid argument so I'll leave it at this: They are the best RIGHT NOW. Would they beat most of these teams in a seven game series? I say no. But right now they sre playing the best so I will agree witb your sentiment that they are the best team right now.
