Number #25

While great, this is more about perception than anything. More important than any specific number is the fact that we climbed a mountain, years in the making, to gain enough credibility to be "ranked".

I don't care what the number is, the fact that we've overcome years of (sucking, McDermott, etc.) and gained enough credibility to be "ranked" speaks volumes about how far this program has come.
 
How do they rank a 15-8 (ND) several spots ahead of a 17-6 team (ISU)? :wideeyed:

Come out of nowhere in Big East play and won. Big East considered toughest basketball conference.

Big 12 this year seems to be pretty top heavy. 3 teams in top 10 but after that no one ranked(currently). I'd say out middle tier of ISU, KSU, and Texas is good. Below that not great. Big East has great top teams, deep middle tier.
 
Re: Ranked 24th in the first poll out.

Can we just get one ***Official Pulling Poll Info Out Of My Butt Thread ***??? That way, everyone can ignore that until the actual poll info is released.
 
Re: Ranked 24th in the first poll out.

This is an easy mistake. Seeing us as the next from the bottom makes it easy to assume that we're 24th instead of 25th. Did that myself last night.

I get that, but everyone seems to be fast to be the first one to post where we are in the polls. This is some staffer poll at CBS, it not official, nor is it the first poll out of its kind.
