It seems indications point to us having the potential to be ranked during the 2016-17 season. Is this reasonable?

Rankings don't really matter in CBB. But I'm sure it'll be like 2 years.

Hopefully before Pearl retires. That's all I ask

Better questions:
1. When will Auburn make it to the NCAA tournament?
2. Win more than one game in the NCAA tournament.

Every SEC team that made it to the NIT plus two of the SEC teams that made it to the tournament (Maybe 3 not sure about Ole Miss) were never ranked all year long. So that statement is misleading.
Alabama
aTm
LSU
UGA
Ole Miss (?)

quote:Well you can't change how the conference is viewed so if we are talking in reality over a course of the last several years then take all of it into account. Throw some facts at me about the last ranked SEC teams at some point in the season that made the NIT.

quote:That's irrelevant to our discussion. The term ranking is commonly known as the top 25. You know that.

I shot straight and you give me the run around.

quote:I am Mr. Technical. That's who I am & what I do. I learned a long time ago that ain't changing no matter ho hard I try. The OP & you just said ranked. Neither said top 25 specifically. Technically any team that gets a vote in either poll is ranked. They are just not in the published top 25 that some yahoos arbitrarily decided that would be the published cut off point.
That's irrelevant to our discussion. The term ranking is commonly known as the top 25. You know that.
quote:Frankly the topic is not worth wasting hours of my time to come up w/ info whatever it says. I have finally learned to prioritize my time to not get caught in such meaningless work. I'm not about to change that just to satisfy you. My instincts tell me a number of them get ranked & I trust that. If I'm wrong I'm wrong. I don't care. If you wanna waste your time digging up the info then by all means go ahead.
Throw some facts at me about the last ranked SEC teams at some point in the season that made the NIT.

Alabama was ranked top 10-20 like two years ago and were NIT I think

I don't think Bama has sniffed the top 10 in basketball in at least a decade.

I hate college basketball rankings. About as useful as a hole in an umbrella.
