Quad 1 & Quad 2 wins > rankings
Literally took winning 9 straight NCAA games before the along heads agreed we were the best team. After the first 6 people were still having the moronic blue blood debate.
Exactly!!

6 games with St John’s, Creighton and Marquette will be tough enough
Tennesse and Auburn both have TEN currently ranked matchups left.

Really hoping SJU can crack the top 25 so we can have 3-4 more ranked matchups.

Lunardi brackets as of today. Given OOC season just about done likely one of the more interesting to date. Has UConn a 4 seed in Providence - I’ll take that. MSU second round in what is basically a home game. Iowa St 1 seed in East. SEC with 13 teams in, which is almost a quarter of the tourney. Other 3 one seeds SEC.

most notably gonzaga and marquette are currently both 2 seeds. if we can beat marquette 2/3 times we can def still earn a 2 seed.

but i think we also need to go at least 16-4 in the BE (away Ls to marquette and creighton plus 1 or 2 other slip-ups for good measure) and win the conference tourney.

we should all be rooting for the zags to win at a ranked UCLA this week.

We can earn a 1 seed. We haven't even started our conference slate yet and there's no way in hell the SEC is getting all the 1 seeds.

i mean, it's possible. the BE got 3/4 1 seeds in 2009. duke is going to steamroll the ACC so they have inside track for a 1 seed over us. gotta play the games of course.

Definitely we should be. I know for certain I will be rooting for Gonzaga the rest of the way to go undefeated up until the NCAAT in the same way in 2014 how Florida did after their loss at Gampel.

It’s 100% possible. Their metrics are outrageously good so far as a league. Tenn and Auburn currently in drivers seat, a very good Bama team and a UK team that is playing really well. And an undefeated Florida team as insurance. Unlikely as there will be some negative cannabilzation but very possible.

Hey Lunardi “obliterating ?” Maybe with all this obliterating they can someday win an NCAA title?

I want to see folks in March talking about why or if rankings are important. I swear my pre-teen child is more nuanced than some of these people.

He always puts the conference standing leaders as AQs. PC was 1-0 in Big East and I think published before anyone else had a win.

They absolutely do not. Every year there are teams whose seed bears no resemblance to their ranking in the polls. That's just silly.
I was also talking about NET rankings and KenPom because they matter. Even if the selection committee gets it wrong if you look over the years some of the true metric measurement rankings tend to get it more right than a bunch of media people or coaches.

Not going to quote it as 100% but it certainly helps you understand how good your team is if they are ranked top ten in offense and defense on KenPom.
