Well, I am here to eat crow. Was critical of WW before Christmas break. Made a fool of me (not that difficult to do). Great job turning this team back around. We’re good early, seemed to be regressing and now seem to be progressing. Well done, CWW!

Va Tech played nobody in non conference. Lost to Penn State but beat Purdue on road. Nobody else on preseason schedule was close to top 50. Virginia and Carolina both clobbered them. They are the #5 team in that conference at best ~20.

Lol, texas fires Rick Barnes and now he was UTk at #1.

#25 is an insult. Should be at least #18 where Ole Miss is.

LSU's players are playing well. The ranking, at this point, seems a little low. But, rankings are not that meaningful at this point.

#1 tennessee barely beat bama at home, we destroyed bama

Rankings in basketball mean very little since it is all settled on the court come March, but 25 seems pretty low for a 14-3 (4-0) team. Especially being 5 spots behind an Ole Miss team they soundly beat!

Beat them in Oxford too. I hope the team sees these rankings and keeps playing with a chip on their shoulder.

Jdixon•76 months

LSU is 4-0 in sec which if my math in correct would make them 14-4.

GeauxWarTigers•76 months

Can your math tell me which 4 teams LSU lost to?

Who_Dat_Tiger•76 months
