95. Seton Hall
121. DePaul
Those seem pretty accurate to me so far. I like PC but they haven't really played anyone yet. I still think MQ, GTown and St John's are good teams but they have warts on the resume to start. DePaul and SHU look like they are going to struggle to compete but are not remotely like the dregs of the ACC/SEC.
Boy, that would be not great for us. Providence and Marquette at 53/54 probably would be out.
I'd say look at the ratings a week from Monday- after all the exempt tournaments are over. After that- most of the prime OOC action is done.

The gap between us and the Big 12 is .73
The gap between us and the SEC is .76
The gap between us and the Big Ten- 3.16
The gap between us and the MWC- 3.03
I'd say we have performed average at best so far. 1-4 top 50 games.
I guess my question for you/everyone. If you are content to be #3 right now, if it meets your expectations, what does that say about where your expectations were?

For this time of year my expectations were not bad, lot of ball to be played though. But again I'm stunned how little you talk about how the teams & players are actually playing in these games, like this is fantasy sports.

It's tough to glean anything from playing the tomato cans we are playing. We'll know a lot more in these next 10 days. I mean, tonight we'll learn a lot about Providence playing for one away from home for the 1st time. See if the Hall can do anything with Oklahoma.
