Angry Power 16 readers

Some comments on Vandy not receiving a single vote in the Power 16 this week...

"I belive Vandy should be in the top 12. I am a vol fan but Vandy has played tough all year and with 4 losses should ranked above ESPN favorites in the BIG ten. If the Vols do pull an upset of the tigers they get Vandy at their place and they are difficult to beat."

"Seriously? How is it that Vanderbilt's had just 4 losses - all of them away, with one in double overtime, and none of them to slouch teams - and did not receive any Power 16 votes?"

"I am sorry but Vandy could beat both Wisconsin and Purdue. What is Purdue's signature win? Beating highly overrated Wisconsin and Mich. State? Hahaha. The Big Ten is #### besides Indiana, and even they are just OK. Vandy has an RPI of 10 does that not take SOS into account? Last time I checked it did. Sure they have not beat a top 25 team, but they have only lost 4 games (All on the road to good teams: UT no one wins at UT this year, UK was a fluke game that UK should be lucky they won and Vandy easily avenged that, Florida is not a bad team, and Ole Miss was rolling when Vandy played them). Also, they have beaten Wake who just beat Duke, South Alabama who is a very good team, and Umass, a team that will be on the bubble for a tourney birth. They don't have a bad loss and their RPI is 10. They should be at the bottom of this...."

"I may be a little bias but Vandy not even included in the 20 teams possible to vote for in the power 16? Its not enough that they don't get the pub they deserve from you guys at the station. Heck, they have been ranked all year and even when they were ranked 12 there for a week, you didn't hear anything about them. They are playing four freshmen on a pretty consistent basis, and take away some minor mishaps, turnovers and they would be 23-3 or 24-2 right now. They are playing ball right now and are going to be fun to watch down the stretch. As always, they are fun to watch at Memorial. Tennessee is going to have a tough time there on Tues. night."
