Could we break in to the top 10 today?

[GlastonTim]

After all the losses in the top 10 this week, or will we stay the same? Thoughts.

maybe up a spot. I don't think beating Loyola will catapult us into the top ten

 

[TDog9]

as long as we move past Duke

 

[B1GEast]

Yes!

We need to beat Florida handily.

We need to beat Florida handily.

Handily? As long as we score one more point than the Gators tonight (and also take care of Maine), we're in the top ten next Monday.

We need to beat Florida handily.

This isn't the BCS where margin or victory or style points matters.

That said, I still don't think beating Florida will be enough to get us into the top 10 next week, unless we're #11 this week and somebody ahead of us loses.

It's December 2. Does it really matter? Play and beat the teams on the schedule.

If I recall, UConn lost 5 in a row in 2002 and did not fall out of the Top 25 rankings. Rankings don't matter until late February.

That UConn team never lost more than 2 in a row. They ended 27-6. Maybe a different team?

2000-2001.

I know it is strange to say this but I would rather not break into the top ten until we have beat a few ranked teams. Running a bit under the radar suits me just fine right now. We still have a lot of work to do and I like the "underdog" label- I think our guys respond to that well.

NBC Sports has us at #11 today

This tool doesn't have us in his top 25

UConn moves up one spot to 12th in latest AP rankings. Huskies' opponent tonight, Florida, remains 15th.
