CBS top 25 poll

I won't pretend that I've studied enough teams to put out a ranking with any credibility but 23rd seemed low to me as an optimist. If they continue to improve not only will this not be a down year but it could be our best in a while. I like these matchups vs better teams. I like how we're built for the SEC
 
Is Auburn really that good to be #3? Honest question as I've not paid them much attention.
Yes. Watched them against Houston. They are very good. They are not only experienced, but experienced playing together in Pearl’s system. They are a team of grown men like us, but they have been playing together a lot longer.

Yeah I watched that Houston game as well. I don't know if they're top 5 good, but they'll definitely be a problem in the SEC and win a ton of games.
 
Ridiculous list, and not just because Kentucky is severely under-ranked. They have UNC that high after losing to KU and defeating mighty Elon by 14. Houston still that high after getting beat at home? Auburn’s win over Houston is WAY overvalued. Kelvin Sampson hasn’t adapted to modern ball and last year showed that. They lost to Scheyer in the tournament with half the talent Duke has now.
 
13th seems about right for now
I think they’re better than the 13th best team in the country, but considering the fact that they are far outperforming what we thought this talent level would be capable of and the fact that we’re only 3 games into the season, I can understand being hesitant to put them in the top 10 just yet.

God dang though, the resilience and fortitude of this team to come through against a REALLY good Duke team has me running big things for them.
 
I just don’t get the Purdue love. Without Edey that team would have not been a top 25 team. They also lost both their forwards.
 
I think Iowa St and Ohio will disappear into the background. I also don’t think Purdue is what they are reflecting either.
