Do we move up?!?

Purdue at #3 is bogus. Lost to an unranked Northwestern team who is still unranked. Us dropping to #5 is understandable but we have a better loss then the Boilermakers.

But they have better wins and I think wins count a bit more than “good losses”. This is fine really means little at this point anyway.

Well they're #4 so...

Lol, pressed the wrong button on my phone. Should proofread my posts.

Totally agree...still think it's bogus, if we lost to an unranked team, we'd drop 5-6 spots easy.

Why the obsession with the rankings? Haven’t we all seen teams, like us win it from the 7 spot or higher? Haven’t we seen #1’s and 2’s get knocked off by 16’s and 15’s to say nothing of 3’s and 4’s going down? We’re going to lose some games and if they’re consecutive we'll drop into the teens up and down in the top 15 or 20, makes no difference.
The writers and coaches get this stuff wrong all year, every year as I see it. The Lunardi thing every March is a scam, the guy is taken so seriously by everyone, and UCONN has made these people look stupid time and again.
