WEST LAFAYETTE, IND (CLP)-It's the popular CLP Poll (made up of by pollsters
picked by the NCAA Basketball genius, the Crazed Lunatic. [or anyone who
sends him a poll with 30 reasonable teams.  Then again, Princeton made the
poll once, so I guess it is anyone who gives me 30 team.])  This week, we were
lucky enough to get 5 pollsters.  This week, the pollsters were the Loonster,
Asst. Editor Michael "Libby" De Souza, Jason "Rude Dog" Rude,            
Rafat "Guru" Sadiq, and the popular CNN Poll, to add some credibility.
So, instead of boring you with all of these flowery descriptions, we'll
get straight to the poll.  Here it is!

Note about CLP Poll: Ties between teams are broken by the sole basketball
wisdom of the Crazed Lunatic.

Comment by the Loonster: Yes, I know that some of the teams in this poll
either seem to be ranked high or low.  However, that's what happens when you 
have five different people with different views voting. If you feel that
your team has gotten jipped, then by all means do something about it.
The CLP accepts all polls which are somewhat reasonable (for instance, having
teams that don't have a .500 record or saying that Ball State's winning 
record gives them a top 10 place in the nation will most likely be discarded.)
All you have to do is send in your top 30 teams on Sunday or early Monday
morning to writer@mentor.cc.purdue.edu to become one of the CLP Pollsters.

In some final notes, congratulations to all of the teams who have made their
debut on the CLP Poll.  Also, a special congratulations is sent out by all
of us at CLP to Sacramento State, who won their first game this season
against St. Mary's (Calif).  Good luck with finding victory number two.

Games to watch this week: #1 Kentucky at #25 Vanderbilt, Wednesday
			  #2 Duke at Wake Forest, Wednesday
			  #4 Indiana at #3 Michigan, Tuesday
			  #5 Kansas at #9 Oklahoma, Monday
			  Syracuse at #8 Seton Hall, Monday
			  #7 Georgia Tech at #6 North Carolina, Wednesday
			  #18 Minnesota at #12 Iowa, Wednesday
			  Pittsburgh at #16 Connecticut, Tuesday
			  Missouri at #19 UNLV, Monday
			

There will be other exciting ones this week, of course.  These are just the 
few that the CLP decided to pick out.

ps - Have a nice day!!!!!
