Message: [QUOTE="FanInNC, post: 4810812, member: 13050"] I don’t disagree with anything you say here. But being preseason #2 shouldn’t justify still being ranked after being a game over .500 after 7 games. Rankings before a game is played mean nothing. That’s entirely based on brands and perception. I think it’s admirable that UConn challenges itself with real quality non conference opponents, I wish more teams did so. I don’t fault UConn for its current record, injuries and a difficult schedule can 100% explain why they are where they are and if they scheduled non conference like Michigan football does then they’d likely be 7-0 and ranked #2 with the exact same team. But it would also be a mirage. They’ll figure it out. Too much talent on the team and too good of a coach not to. Selfishly, I hope Sunday vs UNC-CH kicks starts things! Maybe if Chapel Hill loses for a 4th time in 10 games the voters will finally drop them out of the rankings. [/QUOTE]
