Good to finally see this:

What is Syracuse ranked? ?

By smell

Feels good but really means very little. There is only one poll that means anything and 4 times we have ended the season on top. Hope they come out tonight with something to prove.

What a joke, 25th?? If we make a free throw we would be undefeated and a top 10 team. We should be 15-17th.

To me the issue is games played. Many teams have played 12 at least 12 games (8 teams). We’ve played 7. For me that makes it hard to rank us because of the smaller sample size (so far). To everyone’s point, keep winning and the test takes care of itself.

We’re a top 15 team when healthy.

They should be pissed off with only a 25 ranking. Great teams/players see everything as bulletin board material. Stay insulted, stay motivated

 

[Excalibur]

Just for some perspective for those saying we should be ranked higher, in 1990, when we beat #5 Syracuse and #2 Georgetown in the same week, we debuted at #20. The media is slow to catch on.

@Palatine you said to let you know when we are ranked ahead of Rutgers. We are now.

Glad that's over. The world is starting to make sense again.

I agree. Small sample size and no wins against top 25 teams.

If we keep the train rolling and have no covid issues, top 15 could be quick.

Coaches Poll is out. We're a rather disappointing 27th.

From the ESPN article about this week's rankings...

"UCONN RISING
...The Huskies reached the national championship game in 2014 but went to the NCAA tournament only one more time before Hurley was lured from Rhode Island."

Ummmm excuse me, sir. We didn't just reach the NC game in 2014. We won the NC game in 2014, and against ESPN's beloved Kentucky.

Still can't get no respect!

This made me so much more angry than it should’ve

 

[HuskyFich]

Still ranked too low

Stay hungry and be pissed off guys. One nice thing about being ranked in all polls is when checking the score on my phone I won’t have to sort it by conferences.
