DEL.ICIO.USTony Barnhart’s daily picks
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Following Tony’s update, log your own opinion in our daily blog.
WHO’S IN
• Notre Dame (20-6, RPI 44): All six of Notre Dame’s losses have been on the road and four of them have been by a total of 12 points. The Irish are still a little shaky because the best team they have beaten on the road was Syracuse (19-8, RPI 64).
WHO’S OUT
• Drexel (19-7, RPI 50): The Dragons have won at Villanova, Creighton, Syracuse, and Hofstra. The Dragons will challenge VCU in the Colonial Tournament.
WHO’S WORRIED
• West Virginia (19-6, RPI 46): The Mountaineers have two big home wins over UCLA and Villanova, but the best team they have beaten on the road was Seton Hall (RPI 134) Monday night. Two big road games coming up tonight at Providence and Feb. 27 at Pittsburgh
• Michigan State (19-8, RPI 33): The Spartans have a brutal four-game stretch to end the season starting with Wisconsin (26-2, RPI 5) tonight. After a home game with Indiana on Saturday, Michigan State goes to Michigan and Wisconsin to close out the regular season.

Could someone please tell me if Mr Barnhart’s predictions are based on what he thinks will transpire over the remainder of the reg season? Or, is it based on the season thus far?

Why are you and other media types ranking Ohio State ahead of Florida when they have the same record and UF beat them by 26. Just curious.

Let me start by saying i hate uga with a passion and wish they would lose every game they play but looking at there schedule if the can beat tenn i think they will get in tourny. as for the other teams i think every acc and sec team should get in tourny because of the schedule they play. no other conferences have tougher schedules and dont let sos fool you those are made by the guys with big east pac 10 bias just like in college football

Hey Ramble On! How about Men’s Tennis Second year in a row National Championship. Obviously, someone has “rambled” you brain. Oh yeah, we will be glad to take another National Championship in gymnastics this year.

FSU is listed as an ACC bid but not in the list of 65. Am I blind?
