247Sports projects Bama #4, UConn #5

[Sphinx]

Someone here yesterday suggested that Alabama would be ranked ahead of UConn in the next AP poll. The suggestion was rightly ridiculed, given that UConn defeated Alabama by 15 points just two weeks ago on a neutral court.

But here it is, fresh from 247Sports, tomorrow's "projected" AP poll rankings: (Google "247sports AP Poll" and click "News" )

1. Purdue
2. Houston
3. Virginia
4. Alabama
5. UConn

Says 247Sports,
"UConn, at least early, looks like a team that will advance deep into March."

 

[UncleSpliff]

The AP poll doesn’t matter one bit. Uconn is #1 in Net rankings. Only thing that matters.

 

[Doctor Hoop]

I see. Our Alabama win looks even stronger after yesterday, but we stay at 5.

Right.

 

[Gurleyman]

Pulled that up. They also said they expect we are moving up in the poll this week … from No. 5 to No. 5. Obviously not terribly bright people over there.

 

[navery12]

Not gonna waste a second of my day worrying about how a 247 college football reporter thinks the basketball poll is gonna end up

 

[WhereistheDove?]

Zero chance this team is number 5. Absolutely none.

 

[Scoe]

Number 3 at the very least I think we’ll move to number 2 and Purdue will be number 1.

 

[Platt81]

So Houston drops one spot with the loss, Texas drops 3, Purdue has two expected wins and climbs 3, Bama beats #1 and jumps four, over their only loss who is undefeated, and UConn stays idles with a 20+ point road win against a top 60 school from SEC. Makes total sense.

 

[Greedo]

I guarantee there will be some voters that won’t even remember/realize that we beat Alabama, let alone by 15. Some will have them ahead of us for sure. But overall we’ll be top 3.

 

[aburks41]

Said this yesterday. Unreal

 

[Kenny11]

We will be top 3 but should be number 1. We are the best team so far

 

[lonsharkin51]

Parrish has us at #3 today. I'm guessing this will be similar to the AP poll.

Top 25 and 1

Wait. So someone suggests UConn would be ranked ahead of Alabama in the AP poll, some internet sports writer says it won't and you think those two things contradict each other? Or you interpret "we will be ranked ahead of Alabama" as identical to "100% of people will expect us to be ranked ahead of Alabama?"

So @USNavyDog works for 247. Good to know.

 

[CL82]

So, let me just confess this now, I really don’t mind if we’re under ranked. It’s just another tool that Hurley can use to motivate the team. They don’t respect us… Yada yada yada. It’s all good and ultimately the best team is decided on the court.

 

[Austin316]

1. Purdue
2. UVA
3. UConn

I think we’re the best team but I think pollsters will simply shift us up.

I think Alabama will be 4-6 range.

I'm guessing it'll be something like:

1. Purdue
2. UVA
3. UConn
4. Alabama
5. Houston
6. Texas

You may swap Houston or Texas, but Houston has the loss to the better team.

Article is updated, UConn is at 3

Nobody is listening when I say the voters are biased to the football power conferences. Houston at #2 is stupid though. Virginia would get the nod over them. I am still saying we come in at #3.

 

[That Guy]

It will be:
1. Virginia
2. Purdue
3. UConn
4. Alabama
5. Houston/Tenn./KU

 

[gtcam]

Alphonso Ellis and Seth Greenberg both tapped UConn as #1 during halftime of the Marquette/ND game this afternoon

 

[UconnFanDC]

It will be:
1. Virginia
2. Purdue
3. UConn
4. Alabama
5. Houston/Tenn./KU

CBS already has us 3 behind Purdue and Virginia with Bama 4

 

[REB1094]

I'll forgive it if they make Solo Ball a 5 star

 

[Waquoit]

This means UConn has the best win so far this year college basketball.
