We need to be #1

[Huskyforlife]

Alabama beat the number 1 team, they have 1 loss. We’re their 1 loss. Alabama will be ranked in the top 5 on Monday, how does any objective person argue with that, and that every single objective metric will have us number 1. It’d be disgusting if the basketball writers of America don’t give us our rightful due.

 

[tuvent08]

Basketball writers are, in general, extremely dumb. So that’s the likely answer.

 

[WhereistheDove?]

I’m all for it and I think UConn has the best argument after that game. But I don’t think it’s totally absurd to have Purdue either.

Purdue just barely beat a 6-5 Nebraska team today. We are CLEARLY the #1 team in the country as of today

 

[superjohn]

Anyone who pays attention knows UConn should be #1 on Monday. I'm not sure how much the voters pay attention.

 

[Travelman6]

It will be Virginia and Purdue. UConn will be 3 followed by Bama and Houston. If Houston beats Virginia and Uconn beats butler, they should be #2 in 9 days.

 

[Brochacho]

UConn should be 1. I imagine it’s Virginia, Purdue, UConn for the top 3 however.

 

[Huskyforlife]

We beat that Alabama team by 15 points on a neutral floor. The number one team lost at home. Rank us number 1 you casuals.

 

[USNavyDog]

I hope Uconn is but won't be surprise if we end no.2 and Alabama is no. 1. We handily beat an LIU team by 53 points at home, but Alabama did beat no. 1 ranked Houston on the road and also rallied from 15 points down in a very hostile environment. Eventually however, we will be no. 1 because 1.) We'll be tops in the Big East (at least and 18-2 record or better) 2.) We are undefeated with a decent out of conference schedule. Personally, I think we are the best team in the country right now.

No team will jump UCONN the way we’re playing. I don’t care who beats who

Lol. We beat Alabama by 15. Are you drunk?

Purdue almost lost to Nebraska who is 6-5

 

[WhereistheDove?]

Purdue almost lost to Nebraska who is 6-5

Again, I think UConn has earned it. But I think a Purdue team with a very good resume as well is not completely bonkers.

 

[Hurleyman216]

Purdon’t (belong in front of UConn)

#1 Kenpom

 

[Colin G]

Purdue beat the 73rd ranked kenpom at home by 3 in ot, we beat the 53rd ranked kenpom team by 21 at home, we're also now 1`there too so we deserve it

 

[Get a Job]

I almost hope we're 3rd or 4th just to see @aburks41's reaction.

 

[I Bleed Blue]

Thinking Virginia will get #1, UConn #2, Purdue stays at #3, then it's tougher to call. Bama #4, Kansas #5, Houston #6, Tennessee stays #7, Texas #8? Top 3 will be closer though.

 

[REB1094]

If the voters watched the games then I think we’re the clear cut #1

Unfortunately the voters don’t watch the games. They’ll see Houston and Texas lost, and Virginia/Purdue/UConn didn’t. So they’ll just slot us 3 up by 2 spots

#1 Virginia, #2 Purdue, #3 UConn. 4 and 5 will be Alabama/Kansas or Kansas/Alabama

Virginia squeaked by James Madison. UConn deserves #1 following the Alabama win over Houston

 

[Gurleyman]

Voters tend not to leapfrog their votes at the top without a loss. Once in a while a small handful of them do, but typically not enough to cause a change in the order. So we will probably be 3 and Virginia and Purdue go 1-2.

 

[Apollo]

We should start seeing #1 votes but probably end up 2 or 3 in the polls. ‘Bama in the Top 5

 

[Rico444]

I would expect we're 3, but I will say we've gotten a ton of national press this week about how we're probably the best team in the country. It wouldn't surprise me if that's enough to bump us up to 1.

The AP voters will not want to see my reaction. I will make their lives miserable
