Top 25/KenPom/RPI/BPI

[jacobkdoyle]

I haven't checked but my brother just said UC isn't ranked in the AP Poll. Was it #25 in the Coaches Poll?

I believe NTS said we're #28 in KenPom.

Any other rankings for the preseason? (Not the offseason ones for magazines that we've already discussed)

I believe UC came in at #26 in the AP Poll.

This is fine by me. You always want to be in the Top 25 for national perspective's sake, but regardless, we'll probably be ranked pretty high or unranked after the Hall-of-Fame tournament, depending on what happens.

Quick takeaways

1. 
Coaches poll vs. AP poll

The coaches poll, which came out Oct. 20, isn't drastically different from what we have above. In fact, most of it is interchangeable. Cincinnati being ranked there, and not in the AP, while Iowa State is ranked in the AP but not the coaches, is the only difference when it comes to inclusion. The top six teams are the same in each poll.

Here's the reddit poll for r/CollegeBasketball, FWIW: https://www.reddit.com/r/CollegeBasketball/comments/5acd84/user_poll_preseason/

Bearcats at #24.

TeamkRankings.com has their ranking up.

https://www.teamrankings.com/ncb/ Bearcats at #23.

Given, teamrankings rating system is pretty strange. I think last year after the first few weeks they projected us at a 1 seed after we were scoring 90+ a game and winning by 25-30 each game.

Cincinnati is #1 in the RPI right now!!!! Enjoy it.

Got to play Duke for RPI purposes.

24 in AP and 25 in coaches

 

[jacobkdoyle]

24 in AP and 25 in coaches

Ranked in both. That's what it's all about. The good thing is, I really believe the team is at the point where they could care less.

I hope so! Being ranked where we are now is not what I want to end up seeing.

It's great for them to be ranked. The unfortunate part of being where we are this time of year, if we lose a game this week, we drop out and have to play the wait and hope teams ahead of us lose. Even a loss to URI will drop us out.

Winning takes care of all that!! It's time to get it done from start to finish. No excuses.

I love being able to see "Cincinnati" on the ESPN ticker when they show top 25 scores. Not a huge thing, I just expect to see it. Keep winning Cats!

I agree. I dont want to hear, "our guys are too concerned with the headlines" etc. Too many times we have heard that once we get ranked and lay an egg.

Moved up to # 26 on KenPom.

Jumped to #21 on KenPom after last night.

Don't think it's been posted but the Massey rankings ( a composite of various ranking sites) has UC at # 28.
