New Rankings

Because they crushed a top 15 team and beat two top 10 teams. You can't just punish teams for losing, you also have to credit them for winning. They have some bad losses but also some very good wins.

I respectably disagree. We get punished for a 6 point loss against a ranked team and a 1 point loss against a now ranked team. You can't tell me if UC lost how Illinois did last week it would be the same outcome.

They are weekly rankings. Illinois went 0-2 last week and they weren't even competitive.

You know less about college football vs basketball than you do about conference realignment, and you have shown yourself to know nothing about conference realignment.

You are truly in denial if you think A) you are correct and B) college football is not corrupt and a flawed system

You have been wrong on everything conference realignment related and you know it. Everyone here knows it. Your deflection skills need a little work

So, I guess you have to be a Big 10 school to lose 3 games and still be ranked
Ohio State loses 3 games (One a blowout) to ranked teams and Mich St. loses to a 9 (blown out) and a 23. Also loses to Miami who got beat by FGCU. I like the Bearcats against either team.
Cats lose to a 19 and 20 and St. Johns by a total of 8 points.
No respect

Meh. I don't really care about rankings at this point.

I'm actually a bit worried that the Cats can finish above .500 in the Big East at this rate.

As soon as SK finds his shot, they will be fine. He's too good of shooter to continue the way he has. He's 14 for 47 in the 3 losses. He makes 2 more shots (1 against SJ and the other against NM) they are sitting at 16-1

Anyone else watching the UCONN Loserville game? Good basketball game on that court. Anyone else excited to play UCONN twice in three games? Wowzers

The difference is the wins. Again, Illinois has beaten OSU, Gonzaga, and crushed Butler. Those are better wins than UC has and is what's getting Illinois placed ahead of UC.

News flash, they don't rank the teams just on how they did the past week.

Talk about two teams that like to get up and down the court.
