It's all about the name. The media and coaches polls are popularity contests that have nothing to do with reality. If you are not in the Power 5, you are no body. Take Ohio State for example. Every one in Ohio thinks that OSU is the best in every thing. If you were to ask people what college in Ohio has the best mens basketball team, most would say with out thinking, OSU. While in reality, OSU is probably the fourth or fifth best team.
