Not saying UConn shouldn't have played better, but as many have said the top four in the BE are undefeated at home.  That dam will probably break, but until it does it's hard to call any road loss to those other three teams a bad loss, favored or not.  We will see how UConn truly stands when the other three teams complete their tough road games.

On that note, PC has yet to play another top four BE team on the road (first is the 19th at Marquette).  Same with Xavier (UConn on the 26th).

Marquette has only been to PC (and lost, second is X on the 16th).

UConn has had by far the hardest start to the BE conference season of the top teams with three trips to the other top three teams.  UConn will have travelled to PC, X and Marquette before PC or X has travelled to any of the others.

As for the ranking I agree overall, six is pretty accurate.  You could argue 4-6 but its that range.  Houston, Kansas and Purdue all have better resumes right now.  Bama's is close and they are looking good recently.  Tennessee I haven't seen but they have a strong and similar resume.  I do think there is another cliff after that right now, or perhaps after UCLA (can't get a good read on them).  I would also probably flip KSU and X but the top ten is pretty solidly accurate right now.
