Man talk about big east bias alive and well
A big east team 11-1 with 2 quad 1 wins
2 quality road wins and not ranked.
As I said previously probably count on 2 hand the amount of times thats happened in 46 years.

Too many national voters who have little real knowledge about Big East ball and just think of Slick Rick. In fairness, the Johnnies have played an aggressive schedule. Then again they have lost all those tough matchups except for Baylor.
We lack a signature win. NC State and K State wins were nice but they are not ranked teams. Unfortunately a Nova win --which won't be easy-- won't move the needle much either. It's probably gonna take the Nova win and a loss from one or more of the teams ranked 20-25. Wouldn't hurt if Kentucky lost a trp game game to Bellarmine.
We can really earn our way comfortably into the rankings if we beat UConn at the Rock on 1/13. We did it last year with our pathetic roster.
I'd rather get recognized at the end of the season.
Maybe/probably is a BE bias, but USC who is 12-1 and beat us head to head is only ranked 24th a few spots ahead of us.
Plus almost all teams in top 25 have 3 losses or less, and they all have schedules so far as good or better than SHU.
We are probably right around where we should be ranked.

Nc st and k state are playing much better
Nc st destroyed ole miss yesterday and should have beat Kansas
They beat liberty by 4O and liberty just beat dayton..
Glad we're not ranked. That'll piss off the players and add an edge to tomorrow's game.
Being considered the 27th best team in the country is the result of bias?
Not sure what you were expecting, but that’s pretty good. There are a lot of good teams out there.

this makes the game vs Nova massive. being ranked during the year is absolutely good optics for tournament selection.
wow am i really talking about tournament selection this quickly after last year ?

Exactly…wasn’t Rutgers ranked at the beginning of last year??
A The Nova W would be great, but will not move the AP needle unless a couple of ranked teams (20-25) lose.
Better to stay 26-30 until mid February... plus wasn't our OOC SOS ranked like 360 or something close to that. We need to just keep taking care of business.
I'm sort of glad not being ranked because, we haven't had much luck, for the most part, with the next game, following being ranked.
id also like being ranked at the end of the season. but we're on the doorstep now. get it done!
