Ranking Tracker

I really want to have a top 10 ranking going into Arizona with Arizona still undefeated at #1. Should do wonders for exposure for the program.
 
Fun to see many of the blue bloods struggling - shaking things up!
 
I'm really pissed off that Oregon is ranked behind both Duke and Kentucky. Duke freaking lost @ND and Oregon lost against you guys which is one of the toughest places to play on the road. I shouldn't care but it's really annoying.

Not sure this is a Pac-12 thing or more just Utah having been so atrocious that it simply will take time. Utah has performed well and is presumably much improved although their sample size of games against even mediocre competition still still sits at about 4 games. UNC's loss to Wake is currently being viewed as bad when the reality is Wake is much improved, similar to Utah. UNC took a big fall well out of the top 25 from 19 last week
 
Difference is Oregon managed to win that game and UNC lost. It's bs that Oregon dropped that much. I don't care how good a team is, going into Boulder and leaving with a victory is no easy task.

We always do get respect. But when other teams don't get proper respect it hurts our image when we fall to them. I may be an Arizona fan but I also love me some west coast sports. I support the PAC-12 minus ASU.

I was thinking that, but Syracuse keeps stealing more votes from them. And it's going to be tough to hold on to #1 as long as voters act like the PAC-12 is not one of the Top 3 conferences this year (which it is).

Not taking much issue with Oregon dropping 7 after a 2 point OT win over a mediocre team and a loss in which they gave up 100. Should it have been more like 5? Probably, but dropping that much generally seems more par far the course than special situations like Iowa's.

Exactly. If we happen to lose @UCLA we will probably drop to #10/ :bang:

Not sure how people think we get to 14 unless they drop Kentucky, who did not play, unless you think they drop OSU (who beat us) or Duke (usually a poll favorite) eight plus spots for losing on the road.

Duke, with 3 losses, is like 35th in RPI. Blue Devils have no business being ranked where they are.

We are in violent agreement, but I am glad to see the pollsters are starting to get it. Yet another reason for no polls until a few weeks of conference play in both sports.

Interesting. I wish we could have switched the USC and UCLA games, probably a different result against UCLA.

We didn't drop too much from that loss though. Getting a win this week would be huge for our confidence in a three game home stretch. I don't care about the rankings anymore. We just need to finish 9-9 to get to the tourney IMO.

Not sure about that. We looked bad against USC for a long stretch. They just aren't a good team. What I will say is having beaten them, maybe it gives them confidence. But you know USC fans are probably saying, the "Buffs were hungrier" after losing to UCLA. It is what it is. Beating UCLA was going to be tough no matter when we played them.

When did we look bad against USC? We went on an 18-0 run in the first half and the game was never in any doubt after that. We beat them by 21 while playing our second line most of the game.
