It has nothing to do with being a Republic. Almost all democratic countries are Republics. We are the only country that does not have our Presidential election settled by the most votes. It had to do with slavery.

That’s laughable. It had to do with representation of all people in all states. Small states/large states. Just like the Senate. Absolutely no relation to slavery.

Stone, God love you. I’ll explain it to you like happy hour is almost ending. These Democrat idiots from tiny states are trying to get rid of their electoral power which they have held for 65-249 years respectively. They may as well give up their equal representation in the Senate to completely make their states slaves to CA, TX, FL, and NY.

The Democrats just hate America and are willing to castrate their own states to sink it. Truly sad..

I believe the KenPom over the AP

I
Teams of note (AP/KenPom):

Tennessee (1/2)
Oregon (10/19)
Purdue (16/21)
UCLA (18/13)
Mich St (20/17)
Michigan (24/23)
Arkansas (27/40)
Illinois (30/16)
Maryland (35/20)
Wisconsin (37/35)
Penn State (43/32)
Indiana (44/52)

  • Illinois, Maryland, and Penn State are underrated
  • Oregon, Arkansas, and Indiana are overrated
  • Tennessee is not the #1 team
  • Purdue is probably the 6th best team in the conference, not 2nd best. UCLA is currently the team to beat.
I've heard murmurs that fans and donors are disappointed with this Illinois team. I think that's incredibly shortsighted. The number one question going into the season was the defense, and we're 11th ranked in defensive efficiency already. The only thing holding this team back is 3-point shooting and I see more talented shooters in this rotation than any Illini team since 2011. Remember that this was a young team full of new pieces that was supposed to come together in February and March. Ten games in and we already have the KenPom profile of a 4-seed with massive upside potential. I was incredibly bullish on this team in the preseason and I'm actually more optimistic now than then. The analytics are ahead of the AP, but they bode extremely well for the rest of the season.
