Going to be interesting to see what ranking we have.

Who cares, it's march. Rankings don't win tourney games.

i care a lot. it keeps us in the national white hot spotlight.
when you hit that red button on espn you see smu. that means a lot to me.
the selection committe has to notice us.

That's fine, so long as you know it doesn't mean diddly. Time to gear up for what matters

Our resume gets us noticed. I agree I like the ticker stuff, but it's a paper number that has nothing to do with how good we are or aren't.

Until 3 weeks ago we hadn't been ranked in almost 30 yrs...some people are enjoying the ride. It's a definite cause for celebration and worthy of anticipation; ur post comes off as insanely myopic and curmudgeonly.

I would rather be ranked than unranked. Especially after a 30 year absence. As fans I think it is okay to enjoy the ride.

Our whole athletic department is based on Top 25 in everything we do.....

The immature teenager in me likes the bragging rights.

The rankings may not be a big deal this late as the tourney is the important thing now. However, rankings do increase our exposure nationally as we finish against two ranked teams. And great exposure helps our seeding. Ratings are important so the better the national interest in the team, the better the consideration by the committee.

For that reason, rankings help us.

I just want to see Kentucky and their white trash fans out of the top 25

Oh, yes!!!

Certainly matters in Arkansas where they only report on the Razorback games, SEC, and top 25. If not ranked we get no love.
