Ah damn, you beat me to it! I'll delete my thread.

Temple receiving votes too, for AAC teams. Not surprised to see Iowa in the top 20 as well.

 

[6xChamps]

2 ridiculous things: Syracuse still receiving a lot of votes and Villanova getting more votes than Furman.

 

[Towney007]

No idea how Syracuse would get any votes unless you're blatantly not paying attention.

Iowa's really legit.

How bout this guy: John Bednarowski at College Poll Tracker

Ranked Syracuse 12th last week going into 2K, they go 0-2 (with a loss to Oregon), and then drops them to 15.

Ranked Oregon 13th last week going into 2K, they go 1-1 (beating Syracuse), and he drops them to 17.

lol

So many of these people are so bad at voting. It's really unbelievable

Dave Preston you are my hero

He’s from Georgia. What do you expect?

 

[cowboysnation]

Surprised to see Buffalo in the top 25

 

[HawkHusky]

Laughable that Cuse is still so high, but I suppose it's good for us.

 

[UConnSwag11]

Espn needs the ACC to be propped up with their network coming on next year. Syracuse looked absolutely atrocious as did Nova

 

[browndog319]

It’s so weird to see there is so little space between Oregon and Iowa...

 

[Hey Adrien!]

It's a start.

Win the next 4 games and they will be in the top-25 entering the week of 12/3. The next 3 games won't tilt the scale, but beating Arizona will definitely put them in the top-25.

 

[HawkHusky]

No UConn in the Coaches Poll, but hey do have Cuse at #31 and Oregon ahead of Iowa...

He must be from Canada..

 

[Robertelamin]

We are #47? Yay?

 

[HawkHusky]

Hell ya "Yay" !!!

You know who else started from the bottom...???

 

[tcf15]

We are #47? Yay?

Considering where we finished last year...

By that standard we're still pretty low:

Though, keep in mind, KenPom hasn't flushed last season out entirely, and won't for a while (5-10 more games, I think).

 

[HawkHusky]

Ya. Cuse is still #15. That should tell you KenPom is screwy this time of year.

True. I guess my expectations are higher than 47. Everyone’s should.

Yes, but...

 

[Robertelamin]

Yes, but...

I agree. It’s going to take time.

 

[HawkHusky]

Last year we would have lost to both Cuse and Oregon/Iowa. We also would have needed OT to beat Morehead and only beaten UMKC by single digits. I am quite pleased to see UConn's name pop up in any poll this early on into the Hurley era.

True, should've just stuck with AP Poll, but that KenPom number did a really good job illustrating just how far we had fallen last year.

In terms of the AP Poll, this is the first time UConn is getting votes since Week 2 of the 2016-17 season. First time getting ranked beyond Week 2 since the 2015-16 season. Reminds me how KO's teams were always ranked preseason post-championship and they always fell out within the first few weeks of the season.

Hopefully Hurley can keeps things rolling here heading into the Arizona game - that could be a game where the winner ends up in the top 25.
