We have the NUMBER FIVE TEAM IN THE COUNTRY in Boulder!
They are currenlty a 3 seed in ESPN's bracketology as well.

If I was a voter, I couldn't justify dropping LSU out of the top 10 based on 1 loss on a neutral court to a ranked team. I also couldn't justify ranking the undefeated team that beat them below LSU. The ranking is appropriate. And is it "too high" when we're coming off a Sweet 16 and that rank means that they're seen as an Elite 8 that's not quite projected as a Final 4?I'm holding off on getting excited about ranks, bracketology, etc., until after CU beats Utah to begin conference play
I do think that #5 is a bit high, but they will have one more chance to prove it in the non-conference portion of the season when they play NC State. Once Pac 12 play begins they'll have almost unlimited opportunities to validate themselves.
Frustrating to see coaches vote for LSU ahead of Colorado.In the new Coaches' Poll that came out today, the Buffs are #7 - https://wbca.org/recognize/polls/nov-14-2023
Everyone but ASU and Cal- both of whom are undefeated (albeit against weak scheduling so far).This early bracketology has 10 teams from the Pac-12 Dancing. This conference is going out with a bang. No team will go undefeated in the conference.
The good news for the rest of the country is that Pac-12 teams must eventually begin playing each other. So starting Jan. 5, half the league will lose each night, and the likelihood that where we are today -- with the Pac-12 having three No. 1 seeds and five teams on the top three seed lines -- won't remain. But the Pac-12 is clearly the country's best conference for now, with just four combined losses among the 12 teams. Stanford elevates to a No. 1 seed after Sunday's exciting win over Duke, and things get eve
more entertaining when fellow No. 1 seeds UCLA and Colorado tangle with UConn and NC State, respectively, this weekend.
I caught some South Carolina highlights. Their PG is special.In the just released weekly coaches' poll (https://wbca.org/recognize/polls/nov-21-2023-1), the Buffs are #4 (behind South Carolina and conference-mates UCLA and Stanford).
Yes, it will and I don't see anyone getting through it undefeated.yeah, with LSU as 20 that's gonna be a weird look for our NET. But conference play will be a bloodbath.
