Preseason only Purdue, Indiana, UCLA and Rutgers were ranked. We lost UCLA but gained Wisconsin and Illinois. Other future opponent Alabama falls from #2 to #8 after losing to Purdue.

Texas A&M lost to UCF on opening night but is staying in the rankings above us at #23. Ridiculous

Keep winning and this will be moot. I think the jury is out (for whatever reason) and they’ll wait to see how we do during Feast Week…

Yeah... Going 2-1 in Vegas cements us in the top 25. 1-2 I could see us dropping out, especially if one of those two losses is to Notre Dame.

will definitely be out with a 1-2 finish in Vegas....these 3 wins plus Merrimack are not moving any needles when a bunch of other programs are picking up quality wins

Ranking is virtually meaningless at this stage. After the Vegas tournament, then we'll see.

The massive drop in energy in the second half of the last game is troubling. I've lowered my expectations some until I see the team learn to play better with a big lead.

A&M started at 12 and beat ranked OSU…it isn’t always a conspiracy sunshine.

If Abdi wasn’t en fuego for Monmouth the game is a rout… if our 3pt defense was better it’s a rout…. Honestly, Abdi had one of those games you just have to tip your hat at…

Dropped out to #26 in coaches poll

And UCF is decent and that was a road game.
