Project our W/L Record and National Ranking

[EastStang]

First the whimsical. Let's say we run the table this year and go undefeated, what would our ranking be?

My guess: If we go undefeated, our ranking will be 12 - no way anyone wants a top 10 team left out f the tournament because then they have to explain it.

Second what do you predict our W/L record to be and year-end national ranking.

28-2. Ranking 18.

I do not think it would be hard to explain. Plus it will be mentioned in every game we play.

[1983 Cotton Bowl]

To the extent we can be ranked (I'm still not clear on that), if we run the table with our schedule we will be top 5. If we go 28-2, we will be top 10.

[Grant Carter]

We can be ranked in AP but not coaches poll.

[blackoutpony]

30-0

[ponyboy]

24-6 and a #19 ranking

I bet we go 25-5 and don't even make the tourney.

20 wins. We will sorely miss all 3 seniors (who were very experienced and brought a lot to the defensive side of the court particularly) and there will be major growing pains with the 3 freshmen (as good as they all will be). Semi, I'm afraid, will be playing out of position here until/unless we land another big next year. He's really a "big" wing in my view. NOT a post player. (he and Foster should give teams fits with their size eventually - Shake, too - eventually).

Anyway, thanks for sharing the Rivals article. I think that summed it up well.

I think we will have a better gauge of the team after we play Stanford. I am really looking forward to that game.

Peruna's law, sort of in reverse. Best regular season in 50 years, can't make tournament. Despite immense benefit to program long-term, many want to cut off nose to spite face, incessantly whine about not appealing post-season ban again. Team travels Europe, has a blast.

[Pony_Law]

This team is talented, deep, well coached, but small. As a result given the teams we play I think we will be around 26-4. Where that puts us ranking wise really depends on who we lose to.
