...wait weeks to crack the list.This inertia mainly plagues the national rankings, but many of the same problems attend to conference polls. In the Ivy League above all, where there is no possibility of qualifying for the playoffs, where the only relevant title is the Ancient Eight crown, and strength of schedule and margin of victory are basically irrelevant, are these primary postulates preposterous.The initial expectations they contain, though, heavily influence the opinions of teams (adverse or positive effects), fans, and writers.
