UConn #26 in AP Poll.....

[UConnDad]

We would have been top 25 for the rest of the year had it not been for the Houston loss.

Or the Louisville loss

The only poll that matter is at the end of the year. The rest is just fluff to appease the talking heads

UMass and Ohio State will definitely drop out of the top 25, Kentucky should but they might have to lose to Mizzou this weekend.

6 top 25 losses so far this week. OSU poised to move up. I mean CRAFT.

Kentucky is #11. They won't fall out even if they lose at Missouri.

Welcome to the other side of the fence. The grass isn't greener. This year, the Big XII is what the Big East was. It's brutal and deep. The result is that teams like UT and OU, see their profiles propped up by wins over ranked teams. Since OU just beat Ok St., it's hard to argue their spot. People used to bitch about UConn's high ranking, despite a relatively higher number of losses than other schools in other conferences.

The simple reality is that without the strong schedule, you cannot lose to a Houston. It kills the perception. Our losses to PC over the years never hurt us, because we were beating good teams as well. Beating UCF and Temple doesn't make up for a Houston loss. Beating UL would have, and we failed. That's the real world now.

We need to crush Houston tonight, and should, and then beat Cinci. That is imperative. Of the remainging four games with UL, Cinci x2 and Memphis, we can only lose one to stay ranked. I'm not counting on beating UL on the road, since they are in our heads and take our guys out of our game so thoroughly.

That would give them 6 losses with Louisville being their only big win.

Oh, this isn't a debate about what should happen. But Ohio State lost four straight and didn't drop out.
