120 in the Final Ranking from The Athletic

[BlueandOG]

We ended the year at 120 out of 133. Not great, but at least not in the bottom 10!

this was never going to be an overnight resurrection.

I’m not unappreciative of the 2022 season, but I think it led to some unrealistic expectations. Mora is a good football coach. He is not a magician. It is going to take time to get to where we want to be.

That's fair but it's also fair to say if Charlton's offense is as bad and predictable this upcoming season as it was last season Mora only has himself to blame....won't even blame Charlton going forward as we likely know what we have by now.... and we don't want post-game back pats for the two highest-scoring UConn games in the last decade.

In other news, what was formerly known as the aac, sucked in 23.

Whatever the unrealistic expectations were coming into Mora's reign, I think there were perfectly reasonable expectations that we should be better than 120 out of 132 after the second season. He had a great first year, and a very disappointing second year. I think everyone is still behind him -- I certainly am -- but if we're honest ....

We ended up 127 out of 133 in final CBS Sports ranking. Second worst of the 3 win teams (UMass ended up 129). Better days are coming.

…Better days are coming.

Said for the 13th season in a row. But, got to be right one of these seasons.

It will be a different team next year. Mora’s team. Hopefully a much improved and successful team.

Thinking about another season of Charlton's offense makes me sad.

Team should have been 5-7. Underperformed.

 

[Kolumbo]

UNC is only the 3rd best team in NC
UConn is the best team in CT
So we have that going for us, which is nice.

While I have been all over our teams performance I do not agree with that low of a ranking.

If you look back we barely lost to USF who blew Syracuse out of the water in a bowl game. We handiliy beat Fresno who went bowling and had a number of close games.

We were bad and you will get no argument here. But if you look at SOS and scores there is no way we 127/133, no way….. It is the Independent bias at work here - just like we saw most of the year w/ the officiating.

Not to be picky, but UConn didn't pay Fresno this year.

We have a hard ceiling with Charlton as OC. Is what it is

my bad and 100% appreciate it - Rice!
