This is good to know-thank you for sharing. Subjective was probably the wrong word for me to use.

This is a really nice framing - fully agree with this point.
Add NPI to that, it’s not used in basketball but it’s the system that hockey uses. We’re 11 in that
#19 BYU loses their second game of the week.
#17 BAMA beats #22 Tennessee
#18 UNC upper hand over NR Va Tech
#19 BYU bows down to a bad NR W.Va
#20 Arkansas annihilated by #7 Florida
#21 Miami U musters out NR Western Michigan
#22 Tennessee taken down by #17 Alabama
#23 SLU slaps down NR Duquesne
#24 Louisville lackluster against NR Clemson
#25 Vandy vanquished by NR Kentucky
BYU should never have been in front of Miami.
With everyone behind us losing, BYU losing twice and Arkansas losing badly - feels like we could hit #19 this week
Unlikely unfortunately. I could see them jumping Wisconsin up 6 slots over us, so we’ll be lucky to be ranked 20th. It wouldn’t even surprise me if these asshats see our 2 road wins as a loss and drop is down like they did in the coaches poll.
I hope I’m wrong.

Wisconsin lost this week also. Even so, they got 47 points last week to our 335. Arkansas perhaps more likely to stay above us, losing to a 7th ranked opponent on the road, though I suspect we overtake them as well.

Remember the blowhard who claimed he’d only ranked the guys if they finished 31-0? Well, he’s a liar. 25th last week and 24th this week.
CBS projects us to be 18. Choke on that, Bruce Pearl.

They have UVA moving from 11 → 19 off of a loss @Duke? They are 25-4, -8 spots is crazy. I reaffirm my view that we land at 19.

Reddit User poll has us up to 20..which is likely where we’ll be. No doubt will get punished for sneaking by WMU with 50% of the voters not considering Skaljacs injury

Shoutout to this quartet (especially Martin & Earegood as they had us in the teens long before it was popular)…

+5 after we dropped is last week is directly correlated to how much coaches hate Bruce Pearl..cant tell me otherwise
