UConn at #59 in final USA Today rankings

[geordi]

Is this the highest ranking we've ever had?

Ask Barry Trammel if rating 50 spots ahead of Oklahoma St. is sufficient enough for his Big 12 approval

59 puts us ahead of
10 ACC teams
6 B12 teams
6 B1G teams
4 SEC teams

26 P4 teams total.

That said, if we hadn't lost to two of them, it would be a more impressive achievement. Metrics would say we're in top half of ACC. Game results say maybe not.

ACC 9 teams

Great breakdown though. About the best we could have hoped for.

 

[LoyalFanCT]

Don't be surprised if we are in the top 30 next season depending on who is the QB

 

[UConnDan97]

Imagine if we were playing on an equal playing field as most of these other "P4" teams...

ACC 9 teams

I messed up the format, somehow Pitt got separated from the list. It should be 10 ACC teams, same as what @storrsroars had in his post. I just wanted to list the teams, cuz calling out mediocrity is only fair game after we got called out.

Except the last game, right?

 

[Patman]

I think 59 is too ambitious. I'll look to see what the computer spits out, just got home from broomball. I wonder what happens if I reverse the Duke game and one other game... did Evers play in any of the other P4 games?

 

[Jetskies]

I think 59 is too ambitious.

Fifty-anything is a little generous with the schedule we had, agreed.
But surely other G5 teams here were given generous rankings (cough-buffalo-cough).
Perhaps it all evens out, so I'll take it.

2021 seems many moons ago. Praying for a final second hail-mary defense against... YALE.
Jeez.
I hope to never, never, never feel that again.

well, I ran the w/l only model with HFA... reversing wake and duke put an 11-2 UConn at 43. Certainly healthy but those weren't the results on the field. Without those swaps 9-4 UConn is at 73 which makes more sense.

edit: UConn is a better draw than people think, Mora is doing a good job. QB is going to be so critical next year. Top 50 would be a good goal... next year's looks like this years even with a suspected add of Boston College. Top 30 would probably mean 11-1... I have a hard time envisioning that but I'm up for the ride.

 

[Patman]

wins and loss HFA model with an adjustment for winless teams (there are no undefeated teams nor are there any perfect `rings')
