We aren't the 18th best team in the country IMO fwiw.

Name the 18 teams that are better? Sounds like a good spot to me

so with the new bracketology putting us at an 8 i sure hope we dont run the table(excluding the sec tourney champ game) or we might not make the tourney.

We are the lowest ranked team with our win-loss combination (23-4). There are seven teams ranked ahead of us with a lower win-loss record. The next highest ranked team that matches our record is Marquette at no. 10.
It has all to do with the RPI and strength of schedule. We've beaten nobody. We've beaten a lot of nobodies though.

beating a top 50 team every now and then would be nice.

Prediction: If we sweep Florida and Kentucky on National TV we will be pushing top 10 next week.
I would have to agree with you, except that we are not going to beat UK at Rupp, and possibly UF may slip out of our hands.

im just saying we went 2-0 and dropped from a 7 to an 8. if this keeps up we're gonna find ourselves on the first four out in no time.

I think almost all of the teams ahead of us have played better, along with some of the teams behind us.

so you find Georgetown losing to every single team they play more impressive than LSU beating everyone they play ?

Better right now, or over the course of the whole season. Over the whole season, there are very few teams behind us that have played better.

Fixed it


he is right Matt. The SEC is way down. I think LSU has had a wonderful year, BUT they would be about as good as Notre Dame if they were in the big East!!!!

RPI of 25 and 44 is borderline? At least present some facts.

We are in fine position. I think the 18 is unexpeced but deserved. I didn't see us going better than 20th in the ESPN, but then again, maybe they dont have us. Actually it's the coaches that vote. It's amazing what being ranked and having your scores put on ESPN will do for you though...
