AP Poll Voters Value Cleveland State Much More Than Memphis

How else do you explain Syracuse dropping six points to #17 in the latest AP Poll? A loss on a last-second miracle shot to a NCAA Tournament team and a huge win on the road against the defending national runner-up cancel each other out, so I would think. Throw in another win over a lesser opponent and I don't think the Orange should have dropped any more than 2-3 spots. But what do I know?
The Orange are #14 in the Coaches Poll. Nice to know at some voters actually watched the Memphis game. The coaches also kept Memphis in the rankings at #23...a nod to how highly they value the Orange.
Yes, yes...I will pre-empt you once again and say that I know the polls don't matter, but, you know...

Good teams
are not supposed to loose at home, even to an (unranked) ncaa team.

Bleacher Report Poll
If its any consolation, my fellow writers and myself ended up voting Syracuse 8th on Bleacher Report.
