Im reading this thread and Ive got to tell you. If we were preseason again UConn and Baylor and everybody else. Isnt that what many said? Now Baylors loses to Stanford which to many fans was a surprise. Then UConn blows out Stanford and that to was a big surprise to many fans. Alot of arguing about Sims out and not much talk about KMLs virus and Hartley just coming back along with a few other UConn players injured or sick.
So here we are judging who is number 3,4,&5. Duke Stanford and ND. ND looks pretty good to me. Can we judge them after Saturdays game againest UConn? Maybe. Dont forget all of you who like to wallo about injures and players being out, UConn will have players out due to injury and viruses againest ND. Should UConn get a pass because of the injuries and viruses? Now Stanford plays Colorado so we will see how they bounce back. Duke has played an easier schedule and has had injuries to key players and many fans argue about Dukes defense in past seasons. The problem here is ND will play UConn twice in the conference and most likely once in the BE conference tourney so they might have 3 losses againest UConn. How does that fair in the polls? Big 12 teams will most likely have 2-3 losses againest Baylor in their conference tourney. Then you have Stanford and Duke who wont have 2-3 losses againest Uconn and Baylor. So how do you measure who are the top teams when SOS and having a top 2 team in your conference dosnt allow you to measure up with other conferences? So which team should be ranked 3,4,and 5? Good question because they all dont play each other enough to get a good idea of who is the best. IMO the top teams are UCOnn Baylor ND Stanford and Duke. This is my opinion based on who they play, and SOS If ND has 5 losses this season and 3 are againest UConn and Baylor does that make them a lower rank then Duke who hasnt played Baylor and UCOnn 3 times? I think because ND played Uconn and Baylor more that should be taken into consideration in the rankings and the NCAA pairings. Duke has alot of talent and so did Tenn the past few years and look at what they did in the NCAAs. You dont rank teams based on all talent you rank them on who theyve played and how they did againest them. Duke has not shown me yet they are a top 3 team because of who theyve played. They do have the talent and we will see in a couple of weeks how they do at UConn. This weekend we will see how good ND is. and on Feb 18 we will see how good UConn and Baylor are. Again if you are a top 5 team you should be playing most of the top 4 teams and the rankings should reflect that. JMO folks.
