This week's MMT25 poll is a joke
The latest Mid-Major Top 25 has us scratching our heads in bewilderment at the voting.

Holy Cross is up a spot to No. 13 in this week's poll. That is not the tough to figure part.

The part that boggles the mind is Bucknell receiving only 33 points after spanking Towson and taking Villanova to the limit, both on the road. What makes that so puzzling is Loyola (Md.) is one spot out of the top 25 with 81 votes. That is the same Loyola team that got handled by Towson and has home wins over a weak Penn team, American and an 0-3 Vermont side.

Not arguing Bucknell belongs in the Top 25. At least not yet. But for Loyola to have almost 50 points more in the voting makes no sense whatsoever.

Colgate cracks the others getting votes category, too, tied for one spot behind Bucknell with 25 points.
