PoHoosier Posted December 17, 2018 Report Share Posted December 17, 2018 14th. I believe we will be 20-22 when the polls are out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FKIM01 Posted December 17, 2018 Report Share Posted December 17, 2018 I'd say 15th. I know it was hostile turf, but we weren't competitive at Duke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drroogh Posted December 17, 2018 Report Share Posted December 17, 2018 Have to say the way we have played, we are top 25 but anything more is just crimson sunglasses! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Officer Obie Posted December 17, 2018 Report Share Posted December 17, 2018 16.25 We could be 6-5 or 10-1 at this point. I like our team, but we have had some real squeakers. Nebraska looked really good tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milehiiu Posted December 17, 2018 Report Share Posted December 17, 2018 Good question. IU is just one failed tip in from being 10-1. Which would put them above some two loss teams. Yet, it seems that the pollsters have yet to buy into the Hoosiers so far this year. Teams they had in pre-season top 25, are no longer there. Which convinces me more.... it's not where you start out the season.... but how you finish a season. I like IU's trajectory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayward1 Posted December 17, 2018 Report Share Posted December 17, 2018 We dropped 2 spots this week in the NET rankings after beating a top 50 team on a neutral site. Good old Louisville took our old spot. How that makes sense, who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Continue to take care of business, and put up the W's, no matter how close, and let's enjoy our time in the NCAAT.... when the games and rankings really matter.

It seems silly to me for sure. If I had to nail down a reason logic does not apply to ranking UK after their neutral court loss, it would be that you only fall so far after a loss in the polls, just as you only climb so far per game. We we're not ranked when we played Duke, Kentucky was highly (over) ranked when they did. Probably an unnecessary answer everyone knew, if so, my apologies.

5fouls Posted December 17, 2018 Report Share Posted December 17, 2018 Virginia Tech is 13th and has one loss. I believe they started out ranked ahead of us at the beginning of the season. Hard to think we would be above them in that scenario. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And we have beat Penn State at Penn State. Where is Va Tech's lone loss? I would think to have the Hokies above us would be odd. That being said these early polls are meaningless as I remember Arizona State from last year. Unranked to #3 in a month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt the pollsters would see too much difference between our 2 point win at Penn State and Va Tech's one point loss there. I'm confident we would not have jumped them in the polls. It's just the way they work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IowaHoosierFan Posted December 17, 2018 Report Share Posted December 17, 2018 The fact that are win margin is very low will keep us from climbing very fast up the ranks. We just aren't beating team down when at home like we used to and every game is a nail biter. Unfortunately Not all wins are equal, unless you win them all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IU has wins over Marquette, Louisville, Butler, and the hypothetical Arky. Which is the better team? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
