On the whole I agree but not everyone voting us 2 had the exact same order. Like Rick Bozich moved us from 3 to 2 but that's because he had Texas 2 and they lost

Borges flipped us and UVA this week. So some other voters might do the same
 
We're going to come in at 3. Voters are simple and won't have us jump other teams. Some might, but the majority won't.

Set aside the eye test and the actual wins on our resume. There’s simply no excuse for us to not be ranked #1 and if we aren’t, it’s due to bias that we know exists

College basketball Power Rankings: Alabama disrupts the top 16 as UConn ascends to No. 1

The reshuffling of the 2022-23 men's college basketball top 16 continues, with a fourth new No. 1 of 2022-23 and some familiar faces returning.
www.espn.com www.espn.com

The Huskies are No. 1 at KenPom and No. 1 in Sagarin, they are ahead of Purdue and Virginia in ESPN's Basketball Power Index (BPI) and they are the only team ranked in the top 10 in both adjusted offensive efficiency and adjusted defensive efficiency
 
Like most of have said here the voters aren't watching all of the games. So I think in most cases they aren't going to jump one undefeated over another. However, this is a different case then most. Just reading the box scores, the teams we are playing (more recently) and the locations (see SEC Road game) coupled with the margin of victories it should sway some voters to jump UConn over the other two undefeated teams. You don't even need the eye test is what I am saying.

It's obvious some voters have Virginia over UConn cause they beat us on the not so secret secret scrimmage. :cool:

Not directed at you, I see your joking, but I do see this scrimmage brought up both here and on Reddit. People forget we had neither Karaban or Dre…

Predictably, the top three are really close. Purdue has 1508 points, Virginia has 1476, UConn 1466. Alabama garnered 1326 to come in at fourth. I could see movement among the top three even without anyone losing, depending on how good they look in a given week.

Jon Wilner, Justin Jackson, Matt Charboneau.

These 3 had Bama ranked above us.

Clueless...

Safe to say those 3 are the reason we're #3 instead of #2?

#1 feels cursed… I’ll take #2 or 3 until we get a couple BE games under our belt.

Butler gives me the heebie-jeebies. They’re trending upward w/ Thad Matta.

Hunter or Hunted. I'll take hunted.
