Sorry for the delay, folks.  We had a few hiccups including the unfortunate drop of one of our voters.  Because of that you’ll see the vote totals drop. 

Two things of note with this week’s poll:

1. Florida has dropped to #3 and received zero first place votes
2. We have a 3-way tie for the #10 spot.  If you look at the vote totals, there is a huge drop after the Top 8 teams.

Without further ado, your weekly Select 17

Others receiving votes:  Miami 5, Utah 3, Oklahoma 1

An ESPN Columnist says don’t be shocked if Nolan Richardson and the WNBA’s Shock are a success in the Tulsa.

The lawyer for a student at the University of Arkansas who claims she was sexually assaulted has asked that a special prosecutor be assigned to further investigate her claim.  The Washington County prosecutors office concluded its investigation last month, saying there was not enough evidence to support charges.  The players accused claim there were consensual sexual acts that took place at the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity house party during the first week of school.

Bass, a Springdale lawyer, asked in his petition that the circuit court appoint a special prosecutor to “take over, investigate and ultimately decide whether to bring charges in the matter.” Bass cited two examples of case law in which the court has the statutory and inherent judicial authority to take such action.

AB UPDATE: This is a complete non-starter.  The circuit court lacks the authority to appoint a special prosecutor under these facts, and the exceptions Mr. Bass cites are clearly not applicable.  I wouldn’t get too worked up over it–not gonna happen.

I don’t think the Razorbacks are in position to take anyone lightly, even if Eastern Michigan is winless on the season.
