I don't think it's a makeup so much as an acknowledgement that we had a lot of separation between us at #5 and the rest of the field at #6 and below. We no longer do, but we were not going to fall behind those other teams.Wow, Creighton got hammered for a 2pt OT loss.
I consider this a make up ranking for us to stay at #5 as we did not move up back to back weeks after wins vs UNC and Gonzaga. Still the same rank as 12/4 after or loss to Kansas.
UConn doesn't play them until Clingan is back.Providence cracks top 25. Please tell me UConn doesn't play them until Clingan is back.
I see a lot of people in various places complaining about UConn not dropping. We technically did drop - we lost ~300 points, but we just didn’t fall in the numerical ranking.
Also, what team below us deserves to be above us? I don’t see any that can make a convincing argument. Tennessee has more losses and less quality wins, UK lost at home to UNC-Wilmington, UNC we destroyed on a neutral, FAU lost to Bryant. 5 is a perfectly fair ranking for us. We also still haven’t lost a game as a fully healthy team yet.
We did drop. We lost like 250 voting points. We just had such a massive lead on everyone behind us that we didn’t drop in the numerical rankingA team that loses to an unranked team should drop. I'm surprised they didn't drop a few spots.
1/31 Home vs ProvidenceProvidence cracks top 25. Please tell me UConn doesn't play them until Clingan is back.
What are we Duke?I see a lot of people in various places complaining about UConn not dropping. We technically did drop - we lost ~300 points, but we just didn’t fall in the numerical ranking.

Thank God no.What are we Duke?
I like the chances of 1 or 2 of those wins appreciating in quality by the end of the seasonWins over number 9, 13 and 21. Solid offseason resume. Let's get healthy
We did, we were dropped by a ton of voters. We just had such a huge gap between 5 and 6 it didn't matterA team that loses to an unranked team should drop. I'm surprised they didn't drop a few spots.
More important than rankings is the NET of these teams in terms of our tourney seeding. As of now, we have 2 Quad 1 wins and we will have 9 more opportunities for Quad 1 wins in the BE regular season, as there are 7 teams in the top 75 NET. (Two top 30).I like the chances of 1 or 2 of those wins appreciating in quality by the end of the season
Undefeated Houston is ranked #3 but has yet to play a ranked team. Their toughest games were victories over Xavier by 6 and Texas A&M by 4, otherwise they have played a very soft schedule. Their next game is against Penn.
It’s fair.Lunardi just bumped them to a #1 seed as well and moved us to a #2 seed (still in the east) …. joke
If we got put in a bracket where Houston is the #1 and we were the #2 itd likely end in yet another "well Uconn only won the title because they had an easy bracket" bs.Lunardi just bumped them to a #1 seed as well and moved us to a #2 seed (still in the east) …. joke
It’s fair.
Disagree!
