How many votes this week?

[armenius]

After two more wins and a 6-0 record, how many votes will we have in this week's Top 25 polls, which will be released today?

 

[Greene Rice FIG]

Guessing zero

Guessing zero

Well, they had one last week, so I don't buy 0.

I wouldn't be surprised if it was 0.

 

[CPCU]

Well, they had one last week, so I don't buy 0.

After NJ.com contacted the voter he probably realized he made a mistake.:smiley:

We have moved up to #51 in the RPI ... say what you want about early in the season but we are 51 !! Gonna enjoy it while it lasts

Beat Miami and we could roll to 11-0 against a few more cupcakes. If not, may still be 10-1. Miami, Fordham and SHU will tell where this team is and if we have a shot to steal a few games in the B1G. If we get a win out of one of these 3 I will feel better about Pike and Co.

I am sure NJ.com scared off our voter. Thanks so much to them for their support. I am sure we will get a local reporter's vote if we get to 20-0, and not a moment before.

We still received a 25th place vote in the AP poll. I assume it is the same voter as last week.

 

[Greene Rice FIG]

I was wrong :smiley::sunglasses:

Beat Miami and they will put RU in the top 10 only to set up their already written column about same 'ol Rutgers can't take the pressure or live up to expectations.

 

[bac2therac]

RU will have to go 12-0 to actually break the top 25 IMO

 

[Scarlet Shack]

Bac

Think that is right

8-0 gets us a lot more votes

10-0 close but not quite

12-0 in at 23-25

 

[Greene Rice FIG]

do i need to post the probabilities of a 12-0 start?

 

[Greene Rice FIG]

I do.... 0.17%.

16.3% we beat all the non SHU and Miami teams.

Given that these events aren't random (a Miami win boosts probablilties for future games)

I say 1% we go 12-0 and 25% we beat all non SHU Miami teams

Your numbers are so skewed all the time and always to the negative.

The Kenpom crap you always talk about bases things from the year before to start a season and then when a team becomes good, ALL of a sudden they jump up dramatically and it always gets adjusted like Sagarin and the RPI.

Not saying we will beat all of the teams other than Miami and Seton Hall, but the odds are definitely better than 25%(probably more in the 35-40% range).

Stop with all the negativity and enjoy what is going on.

Best of Luck,
Groz

FIG, before the season started, what was the probability that we would go 6-0? Even after we were 2-0, what was the probability that we would get to 6-0?

 

[Greene Rice FIG]

I think it was 15%

 

[bac2therac]

I do.... 0.17%.

16.3% we beat all the non SHU and Miami teams.

Given that these events aren't random (a Miami win boosts probablilties for future games)

I say 1% we go 12-0 and 25% we beat all non SHU Miami teams

so you're saying there is still a chance

 

[Greene Rice FIG]

Not if we lose to Morgan State

 

[Greene Rice FIG]

How does Minnesota at 6-0 not get the Rutgers vote?

 

[BillyC80]

So we had a 15% chance of getting to 6-0 and yet we did it. This feels like a team that will defy the odds all year.

 

[RUKeystone]

So we had a 15% chance of getting to 6-0 and yet we did it. This feels like a team that will defy the odds all year.

 

[Greene Rice FIG]

We had a 6% chance of beating Hartford with 5 minutes to go.
