AP Poll-Week 10

[REB1094]

This may be the worst AP poll I have ever seen

Dropping 5 spots for losing a Q1 game on the road and winning a Q1 game at home. That’s tough lol

Fun fact, UConn is tied for #2 most Q1 wins in the country this year. Kansas has 6, UConn/Purdue/Arizona/Miami have 5

Maybe. But I told you, some voters are not going to give us the benefit of the doubt. Losing two in a row gives people pause when evaluating a team that appeared to greatly overperform expectations early, they'll think it was a mirage.

My comment was less about UConns ranking and more about not having 14-1 Kansas St, not having PC, having Baylor ranked 17, amongst other things

This guy has Duke still in his top-25 after getting absolutely demolished last week by NCST & wining by 1 against BC...

Rankings mean virtually nothing if this proves true.

Whether this proves true or not they still virtually mean nothing. Its all a collection of human opinion

Meanwhile, Baylor moves up 2 spots??

That guy is an utter moron

Hype does have some value but the reason for computer analysis is that it’s difficult to eliminate human subjectivity.

 

[Rocktheworld]

Duke ranked 24, can’t believe I’m saying it but I’m gonna be a Pitt fan Wednesday, knock them out of the rankings with UNC

About time the BE gets some respect.

Looks like a Big12 biased guy. Marquette behind Baylor (with its five losses, including one at home to Marquette).
Other highlights include Alabama ahead of UConn even though we beat them by double digits, and Arizona ahead of us despite being rated behind us last week and losing at home this week. And both our losses were road games.
Beat Marquette this week and we might only drop to 10.

 

[Huskybass]

#6. Seems right.

You need to show them some respect. They kept the loss to NC State under 25 points..........

Iowa State win keeps looking better

 

[Hey Adrien!]

I'm not exactly sure how the "points" work, but UConn is closer to #4 Alabama than #7 UCLA, FWIW...

Some of the thinking is strange though. "UConn can't be above Xavier, they just lost to them." "Psst, you put UConn well below Alabama."

I used to respect this guy but it looks as if he's become a political hack.
Gonzaga jumps ahead of UConn on the strength of a two point win at SF and a five point win at Santa Clara?
Alabama ahead of UConn despite both only having two losses and UConn soundly beating them?
Arizona ahead of UConn despite both having two losses but they lost at home to Washington St by 13 (this week) and at Utah by 15 in early December while UConn's losses were on the road to two of the best in the NBE ?
Kansas St ahead of UConn. Must be recency bias. The 2 point win at Baylor overcoming the 12 point loss last month at Butler.

 

[Tenspro2002]

Iowa State win keeps looking better

Yes, that one is getting up there with the Bama win (#6 and #15 NET at neutral sites) as resume anchors. Besides that, though, our next best wins are all barely Q1 (#25 Creighton at home, #70 Butler, #73 Florida on the road).

Marquette on the road would be a big one.

How can one arena be packed with so much history. I'm getting chills just looking at all those NIT banners.
