Florida being that high really diminishes any credibility here

This is what playing Florida A&M does for you. Our strength should get a boost after this weekend.

 

[bleedingTNorange]

Considering we still play Memphis, Cincinnati, Wisconsin and Kansas I’m not really worried

 

[Hoosier_Vol]

Wasn't intending that there is any reason to "worry", just thought it was interesting at this point. Not much to it as so many teams play low mid majors early as bleeding said it should shoot up after our upcoming gauntlet.

Heck, look at KY's rank.. Over 100 positions lower.
Play the easy teams to work out your issues and see what you need to sort out. All while still winning games and building confidence and learning how to play together.

All you have to do is win. Once you get to the big dance it don't matter anyway. You play till you lose or win out.

I'm not so sure that playing a team like Florida A&M allows you to sort out anything. It got some freshmen some much needed minutes, but they were so bad it wasn't funny.

Ummm, we beat two teams that were both ranked #20 at the time... this is complete BS. Oh, and add in FL State, who is now ranked in the top 20. So 3 games out of 8 against top 20 teams gets you at 239? Check out Auburn's schedule and tell me how many top 20 teams they played...

I might be a little worried about a couple of those games.

Why do you say that? We have played: Xavier, Butler, FSU, U Conn, and St. Joseph's. It's not a Top 25 schedule, but top 40? Sure.

Butler and FSU are decent not good. Xavier almost lost to Missouri State and Missouri. Uconn is bad and St. Joe's is really really bad. I get that these are relatively storied programs but overall this shouldn't even be in top 100

 

[Lefteye]

1 of the 2 win St’Joes team came against UConn. lol
I’m not saying UF doesn’t play a decent schedule, but I don’t understand the love it’s getting either.

Huh ??


Florida clearly has played a tough schedule

Why? Have you looked at their schedule, so far?

Same St. Joe’s team that is getting beat by almost 50 to Temple tonight.

Do you ppl even read the replies.. we're still on first page!??

There’s no way that’s remotely accurate. Look at the teams Auburn has played vs us and they are 150 spots higher? No way.

Exactly. These ratings are clearly inaccurate. Now it might be one of those things that isn’t really accurate until the entire season has played out but I know for sure we can’t be 239 to Auburn’s 92.
