We should be ranked after this

Why is this thread still going on

^ We arent beating purdue. Wisco now there we can.

Beating Purdue may not be likely, but it is doable.

 

[MV9000]

@BillyC80 Anyone is beatable, i agree. I personally do not believe we beat them.

Arizona and Sean Miller are the most amazing example of this. Treated like a blue-blood but not even close to being worthy.

True. I also noticed that UVA and Miami, both admittedly good teams, are very highly ranked, yet neither has beaten a team that is currently in the top 25. (At least Miami’s Win n at Minnesota was impressive at the time it was played. UVA lost to the only ranked team it has played [WVU] and it’s best win is Rhode Island.). That’s why I wish they would get rid of preseason rankings. Teams are in the top 25 this year of year not because of what they have done, but because of what people think they will do.

If we beat Stony Brook, Hartford and Wisc, would we get ranked then? 13-3 with wins over Hall and Wisc...

Nah. Wisconsin ain’t the same team this year.

I'm very happy with this year so far, but there is LOL no way we should be ranked in the top 25.

We have played 4 games against teams in the top 200 and are 1-3 in those games.

 

[BillyC80]

Top 200? All those 4 teams are more like Top 30, and we had 1 win and 2 close losses.

I disagree that Minnesota is top 30, but that isn't my point. My point is that the other opponents were all really bad, i.e. outside the top 200.

Losing close games to Florida St and Michigan St, and beating Seton Hall is encouraging, but it's not exactly a case for being in the top 25 (we were 1-3 in those games, after all). Meanwhile the rest of the resume is essentially blank.

 

[RUTrack94]

MSU ranked 2, FSU is 24, Minn is 32

 

[fluoxetine]

I think Minn is overrated and FSU underrated but that's not really the point; the point, as stated, is how bad the other teams are. I agree that four game slate is solid.

 

[AshCatchEm]

Don’t care what anybody says. All of our losses were close for most of the game...after tonight I want #25 or at least “receiving votes”.

Do you see why this was a bad thread now?

Still think that?

 

[AshCatchEm]

Still think that?

Yes if you read above you'll see I already said that..but thanks for parroting. You added so much to the convo. We still beat your team so you can't really talk.

 

[King of S]

We won't see rankings this year or next year.

 

[Mikemarc]

This thread is prime example why this loss was needed.

Reality check!

You couldn’t wait for that huh? Lmao.

 

[theaterman]

So much about receiving votes, same old sleeping giant

 

[RUTrack94]

Ok ...nothing to say :.. lock the thread!!!!
