Nice to see, but doesn't make a lot of sense that the writer has UL at 4, but the first sentence states they actually think they are really #1 or 2 in the conference.

Yeah I've been following these for awhile and at first I thought they were ranking the teams in terms of how good they are. I've quickly learned that they are basically analyzing how well they did last week. Louisville loses two games so they must drop below Cincinnati and Marquette? I disagree. Sounds like the top 25 polls.

 

[bearcat jeff]

That's why it's weekly. It should change week to week. Otherwisw all you'd need in 2. One to begin and one to end.

I think that is accurate right now. Louisville looked horrible on the road at Nova. I think that Louisville has the most complete and talented team. I think that Syracuse has the best team. I think that we have the toughest, ugliest, grittiest team.

Final Regular Season Predictions:

Syracuse
Louisville
UC
Marquette

Even with the head-to-head win it's going to be very difficult to finish ahead of Marquette simply because of the schedule. They have much easier mirror games. We both play Pitt twice, but ND/UConn/Rutgers is a lot tougher than Georgetown/SH/USF. I could see Marquette winning 13 conference games.

as long as we get a top 4 seed, I am not too concerned if its the 3 or 4.

The big east is having some crazy games today!! Cuse and UL go down. There are a ton of teams at 4-3 right now. Time for uc to go on a run and separate themselves.

The Oregon and Iowa State wins are looking much better. Man the Big East is sooo jumbled! 8 teams within 2 games of 1st.

Speaking of power rankings. I was looking through scores today and noticed that New Mexico lost today to SDSU and scored a total of 35pts.

I was very surprised we lost to them. Kudos to them for their season so far but they really don't impress me.

 

[bearcat jeff]

Have to agree. If UC had finished around the rim they would have won that game handily.

How did Marquette get such an easy conference schedule. They easily could finish second solely because their schedule is so favorable.
