Ichiro had more at-bats in the playoffs as a New York Yankee, so he counts for them too. 3-1.

If anyone doesn't vote for Ichiro, their rights should be rescinded.

That's because USU has several close wins, but also because Kenpom arbitrarily ranked usu #71 to start the year.

I trust KenPom. So do most in college basketball. I don't think he does anything arbitrarily.
