It doesn't matter where you play if you have the horses on the court
K Sampson is an HoF coach who somehow gets non-top 4/5 star players and turns them into really good players

But nobody knows if they are really good, because they don't play tough enough competition. They are 1-1 against good teams. Most of the teams they played are absolutely terrible. The few games they played against mediocre teams like St. Mary's and UCF were close. Kent State lost by 4 at Houston. I'm not sure they are even a top 10 team.

Yeah theres clearly too many voters who have a certain bubble they stay in and vote accordingly

Yeah you had the top 6 perfect and bottom 4 right teams wrong order.

Had a feeling that might be the case with 7-10 being so interchangeable. In hindsight, Arizona did have a pretty bad loss to Washington State, so I’d say their new ranking is justified.

When looking at the poll one thing that really jumps out to me is the ACC and the hole that has appeared at the top of that conference. Would have been unthinkable 5 years ago that a 5-0 acc team (Clemson) would be unranked. I just cannot believe the state of things in the ACC

They're going to have a ton of 4-10 seeds, but nobody at the top.

I'm biased but agree. It would be short lived anyway. After a fairly easy game vs OU at home, they face a brutal stretch of games. Iowa State, @ K State, TCU, @ Baylor, @ Kentucky then K-State, @ Iowa State and Texas. So they are going to lose a couple.
 
Seven straight weeks as a Top 10 team is impressive! It’s been a great season so far and great exposure for the UConn brand.

The AP poll doesn’t affect seeding, so I’m just going to enjoy the team being Top 10 and not care about whether we’re 4, 5, or 6.

And given that Hurley likes to motivate by playing the underdog/disrespect card, it’s probably all to the good if we’re ranked a few spots low vs a few spots high.

Not a lot of great coaches there anymore, coaching is hugely important.

The power ratings I’m looking at have Tennessee-Houston-UConn 1-2-3. Kansas is in the 4-6 range. These are performance based and account for strength if schedule.

Mike DiMoron retweeted the below. I don't know, it seems Gtown's struggles are because of Ewing. They have enough of a storied program to attract talent and a good coach and be competitive in the league. I'm not sure BC moving the ACC for money has really made their sports programs better in fact it seems like hockey, basketball and football are all an afterthought.

We should be no worse than #6 behind Alabama and Tennessee. Texas and Arizona also lost giving us breathing room.

Good call. I thought It would be worse.

They’re 3-1 vs Quad 1 teams.

I think voters want to see what happens on the road against Marquette.

Who cares if we truly are a top 10 team.
We are looking for a 1 or 2 seed in the east @ Albany and MSG. We better win this one. Or it ain’t happening can’t loose the first 3 conference road games and get a top seed in the east.

We have had good luck out west. This particular team might get sloppy thinking Albany/MSG guarantees a final 4 spot.

The big difference is that casuals know Georgetown is a brand. My wife thinks Georgetown is a good basketball school because they used to be very good. She thinks BC is terrible, and they were actually pretty good in the day too. BC is crippled playing in the south with no rivalries.
Georgetown just needs a good coach. Good coaches don’t want the BC job. Al Skinner should still be there.

There are no Quad 1 teams, just Quad 1 games. Kent State isn’t Q1 anymore. Houston has very few chances for more. Kansas is 6-1 in Quad 1 games, with several more coming. UConn is 6-2.

Quadrant one wins are those home games vs. teams NET ranked 1-30, neutral games vs. 1-50, and away games vs. 1–75. They should be 3-1 now, with Kent State falling below 50. If Oregon slips a bit it goes to 2-1. Also, nobody else in the top 25 of NET has played 9 Quad 4 games. Very weak schedule even OOC.

Could have said won the conference last year and kicked our ass this year. Until we beat them regularly since we are back, this might not be a good look.

We're 6 right? It's generous after those losses, until we win on road
vs tough teams.

This is a completely made up and baseless statement.

Yes, that one is getting up there with the Bama win (#6 and #15 NET at neutral sites) as resume anchors. Besides that, though, our next best wins are all barely Q1 (#25 Creighton at home, #70 Butler, #73 Florida on the road).

Marquette on the road would be a big one.

Oklahoma St is 40th. Oregon is 60th. Come on, man.
