1/26/15 Rankings

Re: 1/26/15 Rankings

If I had to guess, I say we jump Maryland, VCU, and Wichita. Maryland has been pretty unimpressive lately, VCU just had a not so good home loss, and well, we just killed Wichita. Although, we were a lot of votes behind those teams. Maybe a big national TV game caught voters attention though.

Re: 1/26/15 Rankings

Highest would be #12 that probably won't happen my guess is #15 right behind North Carolina

Re: 1/26/15 Rankings

I'll take 14th.

Slot Wichita at 17.

Iowa State is going to lose at Kansas on Monday night. We need to take care of business next week so we can see Clone fans heads explode when we're ranked above them the following week.

Re: 1/26/15 Rankings

I think it depends on how much we get moved up by the pollsters who had us in the 20's. Maybe we get a boost if they just check the score or actually watched.

Re: 1/26/15 Rankings

Joey Johnston last week had us at #14 which was the highest of anyone, best part is that he had Wichita at #6

Ron Morris who had us at #24 had Wichita at #10

Where you will see the big jump is in the total number of points

Re: 1/26/15 Rankings

We want to be careful about using the "we beat Wichita so we should be ranked ahead of them" argument. We also feel we should be ranked in front of VCU. Can't use different logic for the same situation...

Re: 1/26/15 Rankings

We beat Wichita by 16 and dominated them the last 30 minutes of the game, we lost to VCU in double OT, big difference.

uh, yeah, of course there is a big difference.

Has nothing to do with what im talking about though. Your saying we beat Wichita, hammered them, and should deservedly be ranked in front of them. We did not however beat VCU, so shouldn't be ranked in front of them. That being said we will be ranked in front of both of them tomorrow. I see 13 coaches, 14 ap.

Re: 1/26/15 Rankings

Straight up we should be viewed above VCU and WSU for the following reasons:

We lost in double OT to VCU on the road. The fact is the home court provides the home team a minimum of 3 points; therefore, put that game on a neutral court and we win.

We beat WSU by 16 at home. Take 9 points away from us for the home court advantage and we still win.

The biggest arguments against us are that we lost by 3 on the road to Evansville and we only beat Illinois State on the road by 1. Take away the home court advantage of 3 points, then the Evansville game ends in a tie.

Re: 1/26/15 Rankings

Has there been a team once all year lose a game and not drop four spots? I don't see any reason why we should be #14 if not higher. 11, 12, 13, 14, and 16 all lost this week. I think we had the weeks biggest win. An argument can be made for Duke, but we are right up there.

Duke beat an unbeaten ACC team on their home floor. Not even comparable.

Two days after dismissing a solid bench player from the team (first time coach K has dismissed a player in 35 years).
