By on April 1, 2013 in Fairfield, Iona, Long Island, Manhattan, Polls, Rider, Stony Brook, Wagner

It’s awards day and now it’s time to release the final Big Apple Buckets Power Poll of the season. The voters here have made a strong statement that making the NCAA tournament in a one-bid league doesn’t determine a team’s worth, but it can help.

Still Not Buying Murray State as an Elite Mid-Major

By on February 7, 2013 in Polls, Stony Brook

You may have noticed that each week I’m voting in the ESPN Mid-Major Power Rankings. The exercise requires my fellow voters and I to rank the Top 15 Mid-Major teams (as defined by ESPN so no A-10, CUSA or MWC along with BCS guys). Murray State keeps ending up on there. Every week I say [...]

New York City Power Poll: February Edition

By on February 6, 2013 in Polls

I’ve polled Ryan, Ryan and Jaden and come up with the newest version of the Power Poll. One of my writers, who will remain nameless, wanted me to note that it’s a bit of a down year in New York City. But when you think about it, there’s a possibility that four or five teams [...]

Big Apple Buckets Power Poll: Jan. 2

By on January 2, 2013 in Polls

The second Big Apple Buckets NYC Area Power Poll comes right before conference play. Non-conference play has been a little rough for almost all teams involved, which means that this poll was tough to figure out. Fourteen teams received votes, but there was a clear delineation amongst the voters. Friend of the site Jaden Daly [...]

Final Regular Season NYC Power Poll

By on February 23, 2012 in Iona, Polls

The regular season is almost over and its time for another power poll! It seems that people are still deciding between Iona and Seton Hall. The Pirates got a convincing victory over Georgetown this week, but the Gaels are also super popular due to their domination of the MAAC. Now if either team could just [...]

NYC Power Poll: Is there really “power” here?

By on February 2, 2012 in Iona, Long Island, Polls, Stony Brook, Wagner

I think the right decision was made last week when the power poll was narrowed down to 12 teams. To be honest, at this point it’s tough to find 12 teams in the area that are worth ranking. That’s evident in this week’s power poll as 15 teams received votes, but the Top 12 is [...]

The funny voting habits of John Feinstein

By on January 16, 2012 in Iona, Polls, Wagner

If you take a look at the “Others receiving votes” section in this week’s AP Poll you’ll find something interesting. Wagner and Iona are both in there. The Gaels received two points and Wagner one. Does voters think that the Seahawks and Gaels should be amongst the Top 25 teams in the nation? Well, one [...]

NY Power Poll: Starting the New Year right

By on January 5, 2012 in Fordham, Iona, Polls, Wagner

A new year means a new power poll. What it doesn’t mean though is new rankings. The top four have stayed exactly the same since last time, even though both Seton Hall and Iona suffered losses during that period. Of course SHU followed it up by beating Connecticut and the Gaels absolutely crushed Siena at [...]

NYC Power Poll – Happy Holidays

By on December 21, 2011 in Iona, Polls

The New York City Power Poll is getting a shakeup this week. By the narrowest of margins we have a new #1 team. It’s crazy to think that a loss at Marshall is enough to knock a team from the top spot, but that’s what we’ve come to. Soon things will get really interesting. Teams [...]
