These polls are nice, but they don't really mean a whole lot. We're two weeks away from (the playoffs) when everything really counts.

The goal was to try and keep them in the 50s. But when you've got an outfit like that with so many people who can score once they get going it's hard to get them stopped.

I think it'll be very gratifying for our players to see over the course of two years we've gone from being unranked to people giving us the nod (for No. 1) as a result of our improvement.

We've come a long, long way in five short weeks. We're pleased to be ahead in the polls, but we've only just begun. This is a motivated candidate with a motivated campaign team. We'll put in the work and let the results take care of themselves.

That doesn't mean a whole lot to me.

The polls don't mean much at this point. ... it's going to come down to whoever has the best organization,
