Florida's best wins are UNC and Florida State. Louisville has beat both by a larger margin and has better wins over WVU and IU. How is Florida a top 10 team and a current 2 seed in bracketology but Louisville is the first team in the next four out??? Am I missing something?
Bracketology and Rankings.... Huh???
- Thread starter KenSucky
- Start date
Yelp, a whole bunch of opinions that don't mean much....our record will take care of everything as we progress through the season.
Yes, you're missing 5 losses compared to 0 losses.
Haven’t heard it in a looonnngg time, but the tv guy said “this Louisville team is dangerous”.
So if our schedule looked like this we'd be a 1 seed because of an undefeated OOC....?
Louisiana Lafayette State Tech
Little Sisters of the Poor
Baby Seals College
Nashville Diesel Mechanics
Popcorn University
Buttcrack State
Butthole U
Sardine St
Montreal Tech
Momma's Boy Academy
Georgia Institute of Polytechnology
Yeah Momma’s Boy Academy will fight you to the end
If we started the season as a ranked team or close then yes we would. Maybe not top 5 but definitely top 10.
After witnessing our performance in Corrupt Arena, I am a believer in this UL Team. We have several quality wins, and quite frankly we are still showing improvement. Beating UVA there so convincingly should get some media attention in the polls.
It's going to be difficult for many voters to get past just how horrible Louisville was the past two seasons. It's going to take some time for some voters to put Louisville in their top 25.
If the KP years never happened, we would probably be right there on the cusp of the rankings.
The double digit road conference wins over FSU and Virginia and a double digit win over UNC normally would be enough.

winning and being 10 games over .500 will make it easy, we're going to be in the tourney, seeding doesn;t matter. this team will make ti to the sweet 16 if not farther, bet on it! really, i mean bet with the books that u of l is a sweet 16 or better team. last i saw we were a 10 seed in jerry palm. no one cares about lunardi.
We looked like against EKU we had hit a wall, but since we have seen needed growth from James Scott, an all-floor game from Edwards that really wasn't expected and tremendous high level play from Chucky Hepburn. Getting Traore's unique skill set back was the cherry on top in Charlottesville.
There is still potential for Rooth's to give us more production which is important because those minutes and Traore's come at the expense of Waterman who clearly has his limitations. I probably expend more negative energy cushing at the television on Waterman than anyone sense Chane Behanen's fumbling the ball out of bounds from point blank range for the two months pre-BET back in the Championship Year.
Look if you go to our Game Notes and see the team ranking summary stats, you would wonder if we could beat the Little Sisters of the Poor, although I heard they just got a boatload of NIL money but that's a different story. I'm just going to be content that somehow this team is getting it done! Beat Clemson!
Huge game tonight. Clemson carrying a 28 rpi into this one.
There are teams every season that pull 180s. We might be this year's edition.
Love where the defense and rebounding are. Let's start fine tuning the half court sets,get everybody in harmony and get this game tonight!

Or College of Charleston ... coached by Chris Mack. (I have no idea how CoC is doing, but there are interesting story lines in that matchup.)
Playing uk again on a neutral court doesn't worry me, especially since we have Traore back and Scott seems to be more aggressive.
They don't want to see us on a neutral court. We're gonna guard them.
CH:
I too was a little mystified by our performance against EKU, but some of these unranked schools can be competitive on a given night beyond expectations. The Colonels refused to go away, and they hit some unbelievable 3s while finishing 10-25 from deep, and committed only 11 TOs. Sometimes we forget that most D1 teams can compete "on a given night" with just about anyone, and EKU played on that night about as well as they have all season.
But all the members on the selection committee tell they are selecting teams based on strength of schedule and their wins and losses. We all know that isn’t true they are like the government they just keep lying to everyone. There are network officials in the room telling them what teams should be in and who they play. They are selecting a pairing teams up who will have the biggest TV audience,
