Contributing sentiments towards policy:

53% : Yet the Gamecocks are accustomed to being overall No. 1, and feel they've earned it.
52% : What does matter is the NET rankings, where USC also checked in at No. 2, but behind Connecticut.
52% : The past three seasons, the Gamecocks have had two, zero and zero losses going into the NCAAs, so they were easily No. 1 in the NET rankings and were named the top tournament seed.
51% : " Rankings -- at least those in the Associated Press Top 25 -- don't matter at this point, but the Gamecocks did take down former No. 1 Texas 64-45 in the title game ... and leapfrogged the Longhorns to No. 2 in this week's poll behind UCLA.
48% : Southern Cal also lost to Notre Dame (the Irish would have been a clear No. 1 if not for the late-season skid) and to Iowa.
