AP Poll Week 11 - UConn #25

UConn just needs to win
That will take care of all the ranking BS
Rankings count in March

I hate this take that ranking’s don’t matter. It matter way more than people think. Perhaps most importantly, it matters to the players who work 10 hours a day to win games. You think they don’t care about that “meaningless” number? It’s a big deal.

Helps in recruiting and perception of the program when you are in the top 25. You get instant exposure everywhere.

Some people would rather parrot tough-guy platitudes than actually think about anything.

Haha Auburn gets 11 more #1 votes that Gonzaga but still ends up 2.
One guy ranked them 9th.

Boneyard reader. How good can they be if they lost to a Hurley team.

Tonight is the start of a potential 5 game winning streak before playing @ Villanova on 2/5. Let’s get it season starts now!

To some small degree, sure. But players have access to the internet as well, you know, and they know when a team is ranked 25 with a computer ranking telling you they're outside the top 25. And vice versa. If you're a player, you are far more focused on how easily you would or wouldn't get an at large bid if the season was ending than what a poll says.
