RE: Feb 19th polls #11 both polls
We fell 6 spots, OSU had 2 slightly worse losses than us and fell 8 spots. So are fall was pretty fair.
Couple that with some teams in front of us losing and us winning two and we should be back in the top 10 next week.

Good to see you've just started paying attention. Houston has beaten Arkansas, Providence, Wake Forest, Temple (twice), and Wichita State this year. WSU has beaten Baylor, Houston, Temple, Marquette, and Okie State. Those two are doing just fine.
where were they ranked before beating UC? Houston bad losses overshadow their good wins. WSU ran out of gas 5min into 2nd half. Last year SMU team with only 6 guys would beat brakes off WSU and Houston. I care how you perform against the best of best not against 5th 6th and 7th ranked teams in their conference.

Shouldn't Villanova be able to win at a mediocre providence team or at home against st johns? Shouldn't ohio state not get swept by penn state (or lose by nearly 30 to Gonzaga). Uc is 5-3 in quad 1 games and 7-1 in quad 2 games. All their losses are good losses. They need to win a couple games like that but there is far more evidence they're really good than the other way around.
Btw it's a convenient argument to say "ignoring all the statistical evidence that suggests they are atop 5-10 team...yada yada yada" tell me how you can actually believe uc is a top ten team.
does Villanova play the same against all ranked teams? Has tO$U beating any other top 25 teams? Does Coach K look lost in all marquee ACC games?

They were ranked lower than they are now. They beat UC - the #5 ranked team - and now they're ranked higher. It's really quite simple. And I have no idea what SMU's 2017 team has to do with it. It's great for the conference, but it's not good for UC. I'd rather those teams be ranked lower as a result of losing to us.

There is only one negative Nancy:
