So there it is. Another regular season in the books. As we head into the exciting tournament season, here is the final “regular season” weekly Top 12, with 5 precincts reporting:
#1 Duke, 4 first place votes, 59 pts.
#2 Louisville, 1 first place vote, 55 pts.
#3 Miami, 50 pts.
#4 Pittsburgh, 44 pts.
#5 Syracuse, 36 pts.
#6 North Carolina. 35 pts.
#7 Notre Dame, 32 pts.
#8 (tie) North Carolina State & Virginia, 24 pts.
#10 Maryland, 13 pts.
#11 Florida State, 12 pts.
#12 (tie) Georgia Tech & Boston College lemson, 3 pts.
Wake Forest and Clemson got votes in early polls. Only Virginia Tech failed to have ANYONE give them a top 12 vote at any point in the season. Good job firing Seth Greenberg.
How about Syracuse–ranked #4 in one poll and #9 in another. Virginia has a pretty good range too, from 7th to 10th. Notre Dame ranged from 5th to 8th. The remaining teams were not quite as variable.

It is basketball season. It is also a Monday. That means it is time for the Confidential’s weekly correspondent poll.
You have questions. How far will Syracuse fall on its 3-game losing streak? How far up will suddenly-hot North Carolina surge? What to do with Virginia–who beat Duke and lost to Boston College?
We have answers.
Here is the weekly Top 12, with 6 precincts reporting:
Notes:
Wake Forest also received 1 point.
Nobody had Duke below 2nd place.
Pitt ranged from 3rd place to 8th place. Syracuse ranged from 4th place to 9th place. North Carolina ranged from 5th place to 8th place. Otherwise, pretty tight ranges.
Florida State is a unanimous #11 team. Which is nice.

#1 Duke, 3 first place votes, 57 points.

#8 North Carolina State. 26 pts.

With a win over Miami, Wake Forest got a vote! Good for the Demon Deacons.
Some huge ranges…. some voters had North Carolina as low as 9th. Same with Pitt. Other voters had both schools has high as #4 (Pitt) and #5 (UNC). One voter dropped Syracuse to 6th, while another put Syracuse ahead of Duke. And, no, it was not the Syracuse correspondent.

With apologies to all, the Confidential is on the road. Anyway, the votes for this weeks’ poll were submitted before the Monday games, but the Confidential was slow to issue the rankings. Here they are for February 18, 2013:
None of the bottom four received votes. In case you were wondering.
If there standings were to be replicated in 2015, it would mean that 5 of the top 6 teams were formerly in the Big East. Are the ACC’s veteran teams going to stand for that?
The poll continues to be variable between #4 and #8. Louisville was the most consistent team in that spot, with all votes putting them 4th, 5th, or 6th. No other school from #4 to #8 had that small a range.
What do you think? How is the poll good or bad?
Note: This poll was completed prior to Monday evening’s games. We apologize for the late publication. We DO NOT apologize for the ranking for your team.
#1 Miami. 3 first place votes. 68 pts.
#2 Duke. 2 first place votes. 67 pts.
#3 Syracuse. 1 first place vote. 62 pts.
#4 Notre Dame. 46 pts.
#5 Louisville. 45 pts.
#6 NC State. 44 pts.
#7 Pittsburgh. 38 pts.
#8 North Carolina. 30 pts.
#9 Virginia. 27 pts.
#10 Maryland. 19 pts.
#11 Florida State. 13 pts.
#12 Georgia Tech. 5 pts.
Clemson and Wake Forest also received votes.
