I guess you are looking at the world through rose colored glasses, everything is rosie now! Our schedule is weak. MAC teams never get that much respect in the polls, especially early in the year. IF we beat Kansas, and if Kansas in not like the UNC team we beat years ago that wasn't very good, and start the year at 10-0, MAYBE we get a little respect. Anyone is crazy to think that simply going 4-0 against Delaware, Oakland, Texas A&M School of Podiatry and Valpo merits a top 30 ranking.


I think he explained this already, but he didn't say top 30. He said in the 30s, which would be up four spots. I don't think it's unreasonable to think we could move up four spots if we go 4-0.

It's not like we went to the Elite Eight last year. We came on strong at the end of the year and had a nice year. But this is this year. The MAC is not respected. We will have to play our way into any kind of ranking/recognition and our schedule is not strong enough to do that. Remember the Kent team in 2002 that did go the Elite Eight? They were not highly thought of the next year. I'm not saying we won't have a good team this year, or maybe even a great team. But we will fly under the radar again, like any MAC team will, unless we practically run the table and have some kind of silly record.
