For the response to an article assignment, I am using a post from the USA today online newspaper. The article is titled "Wake Forest jumps Duke for No. 1 spot in coach's top 25".
I throughly enjoyed this article because it was very condensed and easy to read. It gave a very vivid image of the college basketball polls and referenced excellent reasons for the jump. One of the strongest points of the article was when they made mention that Wake was "the last undefeated team in Division I". This was a valuable piece of information to the article and strengthened the piece as a whole. The most interesting and artistic phrase came upon mention that Wake had "leapfrogged" No. 2 Duke to seize the No. 1 position. The wording on this phrase gives the reader an image of the way in which the college polls work and manner of moving up in the polls. It was also a witty and intelligent description of the 'jump'. Overall the article was well-written, informative and very enjoyable.

So what happens now that there are no longer any undefeated teams? (Am I right on that? I ought to check with my youngest before posting!)
ReplyDeleteThey will rearrange the rankings and probably move Duke to the number one slot. This is the reason I am grateful for college basketball playoffs; there is no subjection come March Madness
