AP Poll - Week 4

[RayRay]

I laughed out loud at Seth Davis' ranking. Being controversial to get attention is totally on brand for him.

Yeah, and we are just hairy unshowered brain feeding trolls at the end of the day. What do we know!

 

[jibsey]

Not defending some of these clowns but… we ourselves did not truly know what we had until we saw it, particularly Karaban and Clingan.

 

[CTFAN4LIFE]

So he's not ranking teams based on results, but future scheduling?

What an idiot take. So, let's rank UNC, Duke, Gonzaga and others up in the top 5 based on no games being played and then keep them up high after losses while holding back teams that actually have beaten good teams in the real world. Sigh.

 

[aburks41]

Found two more...Full list so far

Scott Richey: 9 (NR)
Kevin McNamara: 4 (15)
Chris Murray: 4 (20).
Jon Rothstein: 7 (19)
Jerry Carino: 7 (19)
Clayton Collier: 7 (18)
Mark Berman: 8 (NR)
Dave Borges: 6 (16)
Seth Davis: 12 (24)
Rick Bozich: 6 (19)

Seth Davis is a major clown

We haven't won a game by less than 15-points on the season...including absolutely demolishing three top-25 level teams in a row. I highly doubt any of the teams projected to rank ahead of us this week would be favored by much, if anything on a neutral court.

 

[Seamus84]

Can someone remind me why Seth hates the Huskies?? Feel like he's always snubbed us. Absolutely love this team, so much fun to watch. Can't wait to see our top 10 men's hoops team go to battle Thursday! Feels really good to say!!

He went to Duke at a time when they were relevant

They wouldn't be. The most impressive teams so far have been UConn, Purdue, Arizona.

Not a lot of basketball played yet, but a team that woodsheds an undefeated opponent with very limited production from the two best players, after a prior wood shedding of a ranked team, has to be ranked pretty high. Given that UCONN has been on the milk carton with respect to the rankings, expect the rankings to lag a bit. They appear to be able to go deep into the bench with little to no drop off. Possibly some of the best early season freshman play that I've seen of players in a UCONN uniform. On par with Ben and Emeka.

 

[CL82]

Fanta doesn’t have a vote, but here’s his take:

 

[HuskyHawk]

The Andy Katz"Power 36" is out, and UConn is #6

Purdue, Arizona soar to the top of the Power 36 college basketball rankings

Purdue (7-0) and Arizona (6-0) lead Andy Katz's Power 36 college basketball rankings after wins in the Phil Knight Legacy Tournament and the Maui Invitational.

What time do the polls come out?

What time do the polls come out?

Posting the obligatory “20 minutes” comment before someone beats me to it.

 

[SCNCHuskie]

ESPN ranks them 6th in Power Rankings. Hurley Coach of the Week.

 

[shizzle787]

Literally 20 minutes.

 

[Letsgohuskies11]

Goodman probably has them at #19

He graduated from Duke. Guess that may play into it.

 

[BGesus4]

Fanta doesn’t have a vote, but here’s his take:

He was actually on a podcast with dauster before pki calling how good we are, unlike anyone else I heard - basically saying Sanogo is better than bacot and we come at teams in waves that very few teams can really deal with

 

[SoFla Steve]

What time do the polls come out?

AP around noon. Coaches poll a couple hours later.

 

[UChusky916]

Despite 3 comfortable double digit wins against good/great P5 competition, I still sense that most of the national media is sleeping on how good this team has been.

If everyone could watch every game, we'd get the top 5 respect we rightfully deserve.

But because of the preseason non-ranking, and some national media still sleeping, I'd expect a ranking around 9-10. Coaches poll might be a bit higher at 7-9 since I think they're sharper than national media guys.

[Hi-Low]

Love being back in the top 10....would love even more being a 1 or 2 seed come March!

Danny. Hurley. This team is unbelievable. And we are only going to get better
