Prevailing wisdom

So you know what was significant about last night's marquee college buckets doubleheader, aside from the fact Grayson Allen was so busy raining threes on Michigan State's head he forgot to trip anyone?

What was significant was the pollsters got to say "Nyah-nyah, nyah-nyah-nyah."

The Blob has opined before how worthless early season polls are, because no one really knows nuttin' and teams on those November upper perches tend to slide downhill faster than the Jamaican bobsled team. Well, that didn't happen last night.

No. 1 Duke beat No. 2 Michigan State by about the margin you'd expect a No. 1 to beat a No. 2, 88-81. And No. 4 Kansas beat No. 7 Kentucky by about the margin you'd expect, also, 65-61.

Guess the pollsters showed us.

For now, anyway.
