Well? We're waiting

1 point behind Creighton and 12 behind Baylor… a light breeze away from getting up to number six next week! All eyes on Oklahoma State.

 

[PNolanFan]

the Ok State and Florida games will be good, cause even if those teams arent as good as normal they have names where voters will reward beating them regardless, (now just have to win)

 

[Letsgohuskies11]

I like it, did Iowa state move into rankings?

 

[CardiacAndre7]

Probably should be above Creighton and possibly Baylor, but I can't really argue with that top-5.

For now.

 

[Waquoit]

Davis posted that too soon... His point about ranked teams, though, is right.

Maybe but it's irrelevent. There aren't 11 teams better than UConn. I don't think there are 5. It's phony analysis to support an incorrect conclusion.

Iowa State is #23

 

[UCLJ0211]

Alabama 11 and Iowa St. 23. Two top 25 wins under our belt that will look great all year long. These may be more important than we think with a down year in the BE.

Seth being Seth..Already told you how he will be voting for the next six weeks. Not taking into consideration that the teams ranked ahead of UConn could possibly lose and thus create some movement in polls.

We all know Seth likes the ACC

Seth may have an ACC scheduling problem shortly. i am curious to see where he places Duke and UNC.

I just looked at Houston’s schedule and the best team they beat is Oregon? I have no doubt that they will be a great team this year but do their results merit a #1 ranking? What am I missing?

That they were the preseason #2 team and #1 just lost twice

That they were the preseason #2 team and #1 just lost twice

True, but they haven’t played anyone yet. I guess that’s part of the issue with these early season rankings. They have a couple good litmus tests against Alabama and Virginia coming up. Those games will be very telling.

You’re missing where they started the year. That’s why these polls are so dumb. The teams ahead of them lost so they move up. That’s why these polls are ridiculous.

They play Bama and Virginia in the next few weeks, the only good teams they play all regular season.

Heroes and Heretics - Week 4

 

[Brochacho]

If we beat the doors off OSU Thursday those mid-teen votes definitely change. They might anyway when they see they’re 5-8 spots off the consensus.

Heroes and Heretics - Week 4

View attachment 81235

Weirdly bi-modal distribution. There's a peak around 6-7 and another peak in the teens.

Honestly I expected more voters to come in around Seth Davis (#12). Pleasantly surprised that we're getting the top 10 respect that the eye test suggests we should.

Sagarin has us 3rd.

[Sibeerian]

That was the big move, from here on we'll need the teams above us to lose to move up. Must be 3 seed or better by tourney time.

 

[REB1094]

Really good to have two ranked wins already. We all will be Iowa St and Alabama fans the rest of the season. We’ll only get 2 more ranked games the rest of the year.

Also - UConn is officially elite. The expectation moving forward is that we should be a BE powerhouse. The only teams that should be able to hang with us are Creighton (would target to split the series), Xavier (but we should win both), and maybe Nova once they’re healthy (big question marks on Nova this year)

I’m talking 16-4 conference record as an absolute worst case scenario

I’m excited.
