New Rankings

Tough to say, we lost a tough game vs. a team ranked higher than us (in theory aren't you supposed to lose those?) and won a tough road game. The win came later and will weigh more heavily in the memory bank. I wouldn't be surprised to see us still ranked.

Loserville will def be the new No.1 which I hate to see but maybe we could knock off a no.1 team.

eugene land was a freak of nature at roger bacon. I remeber him not having a huge impact at cincy but his minutes on the floor seemed really productive and i always wanted to see him play more
 
Not surprisingly CBS has dropped UC out of it's top 25 and 1. They rate Oregon 25th though. I'd always found it funny when teams with similar records are ranked and have played head to head and the losing team is ranked higher. I remember this happening with Georgetown and UC on a couple different ocassions. CBSSPORTSLINE has never held any love for UC but I find the polls laughable anyway

Yeah CBS has been just waiting to get us out of the 25. Sadly the rankings are based of what have you done lately and the name on the jersey. I mean look at Missouri, they have 3 losses but will still be top 15 and Illinois has 4 losses and will be higher than us. Its all bull, I think and hope we will still be ranked....or I could see us being 26 lol

Marquette may be ranked when we play them Saturday

Agreed, and I think that would be appropriate. I have a lot of respect for Buzz and his teams. They play hard and exactly to his system. They have some guards that are solid with the ball and can score. They also are 3-0 right now in BE play so I believe the game Saturday against UC should be two top 25 teams playing.
 
IMO Oregon should probably be higher after their win against Zona. Only two losses, with one being a bad loss and the other is to UC but they have beaten Zona and UNLV.

As for the polls in general, I don't disagree with the "what have you done lately" sentiment. Teams get better and worse as the season goes on and that should be reflected.
 
If UC had won the 3 they lost, and all were winnable games, UC would be 17-0 and would be the new number 1 today. If if and buts were candy and nuts.....
 
Damn I called it lol, we are No. 26 in the AP. love it, and Marquette is ranked No.25. These polls are becoming very predictable. You can't tell me, Missouri deserves to be No.17 after their butt kicking and a 4 loss Illinois is still ranked and a VCU team who has lost to every good team and beat a bunch of nobodies. Bosheit

But here is the thing, rankings don't matter in college basketball thanks to the tournament. That is why it is vastly superior to college football. Every team has ample opportunities and then 68 teams get a final opportunity.

College basketball is far worse than college football, football has it right, every game matters. College basketball the regular season matters for nothing.

UC is not #26 in the AP Poll as there is no #26. It is a top 25 poll. UC is merely among those listed as others receiving votes.

But I thought it was considered a good season if UC beats X? Isn't that a regular season game?

Horrifically incorrect as usual.

College football still can't decide who the best team is year after year

Every game matters in college football so long as you start of ranked pretty high and are in the SEC, PAC12, Big12, or Big10.
