Agree--outside top 25 but close.Not ranked, receiving a significant amount of votes
ThisWon 5 of last 6 and over #1 on the road should make us top-25 but recency bias keeps us out but receiving votes.
Will be a good test case for laziness of voters and recency bias... and maybe both. If I was a voter that didn't take it that seriously - I'd look at the Net - see us in the teens there and probably put us at 25.I think we're in the 26-30 range.
I hear you, but I believe if we had won today, we would have been in the top 25. Oh well. We have more work to do and turn the page and get after it against Northwestern.Won 5 of last 6 and over #1 on the road should make us top-25 but recency bias keeps us out but receiving votes.
Iowa isn't a mediocre team..They have a high powered offense that gives Rutgers trouble every year.we got drubbed at the RAC today by a mediocre team. who cares about ranking?
Problem is it’s really hard to play elite D every game and expect to hold teams 60-65 or less. We lack some firepower on offense but that’s who we are. So, it will be interesting to see if we can consistently bring the D. Yesterday, we lacked the energy but team will soon realize without the energy and urgency it will be tough.I don’t get fans. We didn’t 70 pts to beat Indiana, Ohio State or Purdue. We play elite defense. Yesterday, was a bad day — it’s not an indictment on the coaching staff or the program.
And dead in the water Maryland beat OSU yesterday. Welcome to the Big 10. And we hardly got drubbed, just your standard L.we got drubbed at the RAC today by a mediocre team. who cares about ranking?
I was impressed that we pulled it together when it was clear we were tired and dragging from the start. It could have been a 30 point loss with the way that Iowa was shooting.And dead in the water Maryland beat OSU yesterday. Welcome to the Big 10. And we hardly got drubbed, just your standard L.
Elite D is easier to be consistent with than elite O. Pike has the elite D down. Yesterday they ran up against an elite O that also brought their D. Iowa just had their A+ game and Rutgers did not. Lots of letters… 😂Problem is it’s really hard to play elite D every game and expect to hold teams 60-65 or less. We lack some firepower on offense but that’s who we are.

FYI, Ohio State was missing their center. Still, a good result for Maryland, all things considered.And dead in the water Maryland beat OSU yesterday. Welcome to the Big 10. And we hardly got drubbed, just your standard L.
