So let's see, if KState wins that game by 10, Arizona drops 7 spots in the polls? Arizona, Kentucky, Duke, and North Carolina have different standards in the rankings. I have seen this time and again, just watch.

I don't get your point. Arizona won. UConn deserved to drop 7 spots in the polls. We're still ranked. If we win we'll rise.

I admit, maybe I have a thanksgiving bug up my ____ but my point is quite simple, Duke or Kentucky loses they drop 3 spots. The 7 was excessive regardless of what happens Sunday. There will be numerous examples as the season progresses.

We won't be ranked at some point in the next month or so but it really matters little in the big picture. Actually I like not worrying about where we're ranked!

I understand the feelings, but all I care about anymore is championships, the rest has simply become a way to hype the next nationally televised game.

1) Who cares?

2) As good as we think WVU is, plenty of voters probably just saw it as a loss to an unranked team in convincing fashion. If UNC loses to Butler today, they'll drop plenty. Duke and Kentucky already have impressive wins, so they wouldn't deserve to drop as much as we did if they had a similar loss.

Also, we had pretty mediocre wins over Bryant and CoC. The only "good" game UConn has had was the win over unranked Dayton.

Unranked Butler just beat #5 NC by 8 so they should be say 12 or lower next week?

Because we will have 3 losses or so..........and the other games will not make up for the losses and we'll lose a little ground with the voters for a while........But they'll be fine!

We have to earn respect which will show in the rankings, but even when we earn it we hear stuff like "best team didn't win", that kind of crap and it seems to continue. This year's team will take time to develop and I don't know at this point if we have enough outside shooting but I guess I expected a drop of about 5 places and not 7 in the rankings. It means nothing I know, but it pissed me off. I guess I have thin skin.

When you are ranked higher, you drop fewer spots. It's not that hard to put together. I don't think it has anything to do with the name on the jersey. I'm sure it's worked in our favor many, many times when we were ranked in the top 10. I never understood why some UConn fans have this inferiority complex and belief that all the media outlets are out to get us. We're 4 time national champs for f&&ck sake. Stop whining. Last week Goodman (who is a giant ) stated that UConn has the whiniest fans. It's the only correct observation he's ever made.

Case in point our APR situation. It was very game and all the time for discussion when we played. Have you watched a NC game lately?

I hear you but I really don't care about rankings this early especially
BUT I have seen Duke lose and actually rise a place or two
Again - rankings mean squat right now
