One 3 Loss Team in Top 25

Postby Duke Blue Blood » Wed Dec 28, 2016 12:32 pm

Florida is the only 3 Loss Team in the Top 25, with a loss to Duke, Gonzaga and FSU. Granted two of those are not bad losses, but they have ZERO quality wins.

We're not getting ranked unless we knock off Cincy.

After beating Memphis at Memphis do we think we can get any votes if we take care of ECU?

Assuming we beat ECU, I think it takes a Temple win to start getting votes.

Yeah, win the next two and we will definitely be getting votes. The blowout to Michigan and loss to Boise are hard to overcome but more wins will take care of that. I don't think it takes winning in Cincy to crack the polls, we just can't get blown out.

Our conference is watered down this year. We might get a vote or two before if we keep winning, but I can't see us actually cracking the Top 25 unless we win at Cincy on Jan. 12.

We would lose to all three of those teams as well. Not getting ranked unless we beat Cincy. Not beating Cincy unless McDowell or Emelogu turn into different players.

Let me clarify my comment about Cincy. I agree that we won't be ranked if we lose to Cincy after the first game there, but if its close and we continue to win after that game then soon after we would make it. If we win the next 3 we will be 14-3 going into Cincy and that will get us votes for sure.
