ranking predictions

[Daserop]

Everything equalizes out after ~10-12 games... right now majority of the computer rankings don't have enough games to accurately predict

agreed but still some of other computer rankings are at least within reason.

I cannot believe Iowa is 23. Weak.

Voters seem to refuse to budge much from preseason rankings until a team loses, or enough teams below it get big wins to jump ahead. That's allowed Iowa to hold steady despite playing a weak schedule so far. (And getting massive blowouts doesn't hurt, either).

But if voters spent even a little time each week and base rankings on games that have actually been played, there would be a lot more movement. And Louisville wouldn't still be ranked above North Carolina after losing head-to-head (UL's schedule had been as bad as Iowa's to that point).

Pretty much depends on if the computer ranking includes some kind of preseason info (returning minutes, recruits, etc) or not.

Guess my original prediction in the post was right!

14th or 15th in AP (will jump UNC and Memphis and likely Uconn for losing to stanford) I lean towards 14th a 5 spot drop for losing to a mediocre opponent at home is warranted for UConn.

12th in coaches poll. (Only jump Uconn already ahead of memphis and UNC)
