Gained 4 votes, huh? Nice. We took UNC's and 3 from Purdue.

Another week at #1 for the good guys!
North Carolina is looking like our best win by far. They’re top 3 now
Is Auburn that good? I haven’t watched much of them this year but they’re top 10
Same question with Dayton. #16 and up 5 spots after beating St Louis and Rhode Island?
Creighton went up 1 spot after being embarrassed by us and needing 3OT against Seton Hall
Memphis down to 19 and there’s a good argument that 19 is generous
Seton Hall first team out. They have PC and Marquette this week. 2-0 puts them in

Can we get a mid-season hype video, @Storrs South? It's going to be a long, empty week

good, yes...that good, probably not
Also, how do NET rankings make any sense at all???
we actually dropped after picking up an additional 2 Q1 wins last week, while Auburn still has checks notes 0...
Why? No disgrace losing to that powerful Pitt team at home!

Road losses are a bigger metric in NET

UConn, Purdue remain atop jumbled AP Top 25; No. 25 New Mexico moves into rankings

UConn Villanova Basketball

The same two teams remained at the top amid the poll turmoil.
Reigning national champion Connecticut stayed No. 1 in The Associated Press men's college basketball poll released Monday, receiving 44 first-place votes from a 61-person media panel. No. 2 Purdue got 17 first-place votes.
UConn moved to the top of the poll last week for the first time in 15 years.
The Huskies opened the week with a lopsided win over No. 17 Creighton in David Clingan's return from a right foot injury. UConn then edged Villanova 66-65 in a physical game that had coach Dan Hurley talking about jujitsu, Muay Thai and UFC fighting.
“When you get ranked No. 1 — coach talked about it the entire week — it’s like a temporary belt,” UConn's Alex Karaban said. “You’ve got to continue to protect the belt, protect the heavyweight championship.”
”
Donovan changed his name? Sloppy work by the AP...lol
It gets hard to find good teams in the mid teens.

Went to the BC UNC game Saturday and its hilarious that they are ranked 3rd. Just so underwhelming from a talent and coaching perspective.

Totally agree. I was listening to the Field of 68 the other night and Dauster had them in the group with UConn and Purdue as teams that can win it all. He also said nobody can beat Purdue at their best. Yawn

What games were you watching recently where they looked like the worst top 5 team ever?

I have posted on here several times about Dayton because my daughter graduated from Dayton in 2021. The 2023-4 team looks alot like the 2020 Obi Toppin team but not quite as good (Obi was special). DaRon Holmes is Dayton's highest ever recruit (247 #54 in 2021). He tested the NBA after last season but came back this year and is the leading candidate for A10 player of the year. Dayton runs a very efficient offense and have some impressive 3 point shooters. But they rely heavily on Holmes and the 3 and if either are not working well, they are vulnerable as their defense is average at best.
They are 15 in the NET rankings with a 3-1 Quad 1 record. Their out of conference schedule was good and they have wins over St John's, LSU, SMU and Cincinatti. Their 2 losses are against Northwestern and Houston.
As for Dayton in general, what a great basketball school. Tons of fan support and a great basketball environment. And their fans travel very well.
Wisconsin, Marquette, maybe Creighton? Do Baylor and Michigan State wins offset putrid losses against Pitt and GT and justify a ranking just outside the top 10?
ACC is a horrible league. They’ll get even worst next year with a bunch of AAC Pac dregs joining them. They should really only get 4 bids this year

Only because it seems like a couple people didn't vote at all this week (Chandler Mack and Tony Garcia have no week 12 ballots listed on poll tracker, but they did vote in week 11). Purdue went down too.
