I have zero inkling of what our team will truly be this year. I trend optimistic thinking that 208 is beyond ridiculously low. I'd move us up a hundred, simply because I think we have a lot of good pieces that I think will actually fit well together. But this team is sooo young. I just don't know.

Stupid ranking. There's easily 20 schools above us (many of which I've never heard of) that there is no way in hell we wouldn't be heavily favored over if we were to play them today. There's no way the projected 10th seed in the MAAC is going to be better than projected 11th or 12th seed in the p12 for instance.

Yeah, Liberty would kick our ass.

Not a lot of SI love for MEAC or SWAC

Oh dear, we might go winless . . . right there with Louisville and uDub.

ESPN has us a lot better at a cool #100. Like this ranking a whole lot more.

Three digits, with a bullet.

Ahead of both Washington schools? Could be possible. Still 10th out of 12 conference schools and out of the tournament, so nothing too exciting IMO.

Central Arkansas was #308 in that Sports Illustrated preseason ranking.

When it rains, it pours.

So I'll admit I was wrong earlier. #208 was actually overly generous LOL

We managed to underperform basement expectations. Impressive, Wyking.

I couldn't find a lower ranked Power conference team (Cal and Pitt are only teams with single digit wins). What's really amazing is that NC A&T, with 20 wins, is 18 spots BELOW Cal.

Agreed entirely.

We lost to chaminade and others like those above us in this ranking.

Why we rehashing the past. Let this past year died the death it deserves.

Speaking of rankings, there wasn't a single team from the conference of the champions in the final USA Today/Coaches poll. Not a good look.

So you're saying that our horrendously bad season wasn't due to a horrendously strong PAC 12? Incredible to think that this season could have been worse with just an average PAC 12. I really hope Wyking can turn this around.

Thanks Cuonzo.

Wyking may have underperformed, but the deck was stacked when he took over.
Picked 12th in the league, that's where they finished.
Let's see how it turns out after year 2.
