I guessed 17 ish. Not a bad jump the first week. Only 1 game this week so I imagine will hold steady barring upsets in week 2

There've been a lot of upsets and we weren't one of them. So it's not too surprising to see us jump this first week.

I don't know that we're really the 15th best team in the country right now ... but I think (or at least hope) that we will be by conference time.

I think a lot of the pieces are there for this to be a really good team by March. But we do have a lot of things to clean up.

Baylor #9 this week.

Nice move up 4 spots. No complaint there...but can someone explain to me how UConn remains at 4? Haven't seen Arizona, but UConn looks better than anyone else I have seen thus far.

UConn has only played one ranked opponent in Texas and won that game. Purdue has won against 3 teams a ranked in the top 11. Marquette has a good resume, Arizona has a better win than UConn thus far. It's close up there in the top 5

I agree with the numbers, but watching the games, the algorithm does not withstand the eye test.

UConn could be the best team, slot them 2-4 it doesn't really matter. Purdue has earned the #1 spot this week.
