Yep called Penn St jumping us . The voters will do everything in their power to give the big 10 more credit then it deserves. Hell it took MSU losing 3 out 4 for them to drop out of the top 20 . But really it doesn't matter . If we win out we are getting seeded between 7-10 overall. I am telling you we are going to be KU's 2 seed in the midwest . Would love to be SDSU's 2 but the committee doesn't love us that much lol.
UL loses back to back games to teams that were .500 or worse and they drop only 6? Lol. We dropped 5 spots after the buzzer beater loss to South Carolina. What a joke. Idk if it’s because quite a few teams around them lost as well but still bs
I liked Seth Davis putting them #21 better.
Nittany Lions have now jumped 13 spots in 2 weeks. I'm just not seeing it
A 2 seed is very possible now.
To be fair they have won like what 9 in a row over good teams. They aren't better then us but like I said big 10 teams get benefit of the doubt .
I’ll be watching them in person when they play at Iowa in a couple of weeks. Interested in checking them out live. Maryland is the class of the Big10, but PSU looks like a legit top 15 team.
Looks like they have 4 tougher games in a row coming up. Last 4 combined opponents were horrible teams
We gotta get LSU tomorrow
We gotta get LSU tomorrow
after getting blown out by 32 by OSU and shortly after losing 3 in a row...annnnnnd losing to ole miss
but early losses only count for certain schools...i forgot
oh btw...they are 8-3 over last 11...UK is 9-2 over last 11
They are pretty good BUT the complete lack of tourney experience by both players and coaches will equal a very early exit .
Thankfully we're almost for sure past the possibility of a 5-seed.. that's really what we want to avoid.
A 4 isn't ideal, but it does have its perks, playing either Gonzaga or SDSU and avoiding the more traditionally tough teams until the elite8.

yeah despite what that idiot Palm thinks UK would have to really flounder to get a 5 seed at this point. We win out most likely a 2 . But a 3 is fine with me . If you are a 1-3 seed you get much better travel consideration USUALLY compared to a 5 seed.
I agree . Maryland is the one team who could win a title out of that league .
Penn St's style reminds me of Jay Wright's Nova. They got a bunch of dudes who will shoot (and make it) from all over the floor and from just about every position.
I don’t have a problem with the top ten. While I don’t necessarily agree with Penn State ahead of us, I can see why people voted them there. What I don’t understand is UL being 11th after two back to back terrible losses. They should have fallen to 14 or 15.
Keep this up and we could very well be knocking on the door for a 2 seed.
I believe there were many losses/bad losses in the top 25 this week. That is one of the reasons that teams don’t move as much as would be expected.
True. But the UL losses were to two awful teams in the middle of February.
UK at #10 is about right. The Cats need to just keep winning and the ranking will work itself out...starting with the LSU tigers tomorrow night. This team is largely a mercurial team with a small margin of error. To be in the top ten after a relatively mediocre preseason - losses to Evansville and Utah - and later losing to South Carolina, this team is very fortunate to be where they are, imo.
Definitely not. If any teams like UL, Dayton, etc. are also a 2 seed and finish on the seed line ranked above us, they would get preference. The only way to really guarantee your regional site is to be the #1 overall seed.
Extremely.
I've been saying it.
Win-out (including winning the SEC Tournament) and we're a mortal lock for a 2 seed.
Even if we just drop one game, we could be very much in play for a 2.
Lose any more than one game, and it'd say 3 is our ceiling.
We still dropped 5 spots with that loss even though we followed it up witha quad 1 win at Arkansas on that Saturday.. it’s complete BS
Big10 overrated year end year out. Last NC was over 20 years ago.
Some still have us as the last 4. Seems ridiculous to me, but hey what do I know?
Yes they have and their losses are not terrible but they are Rutgers 18-8, Wisconsin 15-10, Minn 12-12, Ohio State 17-8 and Ol'Miss 13-12, and their big wins are Maryland at home in December and Ohio State in late January when they went on a nose dive losing streak. I don't think Mich State, Mich, and IU can be called great wins presently. I can't see where their schedule is any harder then ours, heck the SEC in basketball have been beating themselves up for years but nobody ever said that was a good thing like the Big Ten teams are being talked about. Someone said they had beaten some really good teams like Syracuse (11 losses), Purdue (11 losses) Georgetown (10 losses). There was a day that we didn't think teams with more then 10 losses were that good.

Do any stat guys know what the most losses we ever had and still got a high seed and what was that seed/how many losses did we have? I know that won't happen this year but wonder what that was.
don’t they make the selections before our SEC tournament is even over?
And that's 10 losses at season's end...NOT with a month to go.There was a day that we didn't think teams with more then 10 losses were that good.
I'm not sure since Cal has been here if a better or unexpected higher ranking has ever happened.
2019 2 seed 6 losses
2018 5 seed 10 losses
2017 2 seed 5 losses
2016 4 seed 8 losses
2015 1 seed 0 losses
2014 8 seed 10 losses
2012 1 seed 1 loss
2011 4 seed 8 losses
2010 1 seed 2 losses
Hope this is right.
Thanks. Seems like 26-5 or 25-6 and a couple of wins in the SEC tournament might get us a 2 seed unless the loss is a blowout or at home.
Its been said by the committee especially since Cal has been here that the SEC championship game is never been given any consideration if its two teams that are already going to the tournament, now if its a team not originally going it would change some things with the automatic bid.
