Out of the Top 25

 

[bac2therac]

Big 12 has 5 of the top 12!

 

[Greene Rice FIG]

My day is ruined now.

Sarcasm meter maxed out.

 

[G- RUnit]

Well Miami loss looking better I suppose.
Not at all sold on Providence and the love for UConn is curious, how many more games do they have to lose?

 

[scarletnewyorker2006]

The AP is incorrect.

 

[bac2therac]

The AP is incorrect.

not really, pretty fair to put RU there with 6 losses

 

[G- RUnit]

Yet Marquette, UConn and Providence with 5 losses? Voting together/bloc??? Hmmmm

Is it too early to put a gun to your head win total RU needs to have at the end of regular season to be confident we are in?

19-12 (11-9) ?
20-11 (12-8) no Dayton?

 

[fatsam98]

Gonzaga living off their past reputation at #14. Ok they won against Alabama in Birmingham. A couple other decent wins against MSU and Xavier.

Losses to Texas, Purdue, Baylor and Loyola Marymount

 

[S_Janowski]

No problem with #29 but we should be ahead of Indiana

 

[Greene Rice FIG]

No problem with #29 but we should be ahead of Indiana

looking at the resumes it is a toss up

 

[fluoxetine]

Lol you love the conspiracies

 

[S_Janowski]

looking at the resumes it is a toss up

Agree but we beat them, hence why we should be ahead of them.

Pollsters have recency bias though.

 

[ScarletKid2008]

1 ranked Big ten team is a bad look

 

[SirScarlet]

We were 23 and lost the only game we had in the week...can't really complain about dropping out

I dont care yet...just win more games and this all sorts itself out

 

[jordkap]

Just beat Penn State and go from there

 

[RUJMM78]

The loss to Ohio State which B1G Ten officails admit was a referee mistake will impact Rutgers in all future rankings.

BE = overrated

the bubble is weak, yeah I say that every year but......12 wins and RU is the magic number to not worry....last years 12 we still were sweating, would not be the case this year

11 is still probably puts us in but remember you have 12 total Big 10 schools competing for bids...crowded, i would like to see RU come up with a win in the Big 10 tourney in that scenerio and our track besides the year with Corey when it was at MSG isnt that hot.

should Iowa be above Rutgers since they beat them at the RAC..what about Michigan State. Indiana is on a hot stretch and just Michigan State on national tv.

Iowa's home loss to Eastern Illinois (No. 338 in the Net) is going to haunt the Hawkeyes all season... just like Lafayette for us last year.

19-12 (11-9) ?
20-11 (12-8) no Dayton?

With the computers like us this year …this is my take

10-10/18-13-
lock even with a big ten tourney loss …and I don’t think Dayton is calling

11-9/19-12-
8/9 seed , going into big ten tourney

12-8/20-11-
7 seed going inti the big ten tourney …

13-7/21-10
6 seed going into the big ten tourney

14-6/22-9
5 seed gojng into the big ten tourney

 

[Proud NJ Sports Fan]

Just beat Penn State and go from there

It’s going to be difficult

 

[RUJMM78]

Rutgers bad ref call loss to Ohio State has already impacted rankings.They should have a 6-2 league record right now which would only be one loss behind Purdue.They also would have five total losses which makes the resume more attractive to voters.With the parity in the B1G Ten there will be at least six teams fighting for positions 2-4 at the end of the season.Rutgers has little margin for error going forward starting with Penn State.

Out of the Top 25

Thanks for the insight. I thought the thread title was “Rutgers # 29 in AP Top 25”.

at least their numbers are not bad in the net.....wisconsin and michigan really getting killed in the NET right now. Michigan is in some trouble and will have to find big time wins

We’re in 2nd place in the standings, one of only 3 teams with 3 or fewer B1G losses but yet we have “little margin for error”? Then what the heck does Indiana and Iowa have?

 

[mikeyo]

We're the only loss for the number 1 team in the country. The longer that persists
the better off we are

14-6/22-9

18-14 I'd think at best would be Dayton. With that being said I'd be surprised we finish 6-7 the rest of the way.

 

[Russ Wood]

Big 12 has 5 of the top 12!

Best conference in CBB

 

[zappaa]

B1G win coming tomorrow
Another huge game, it’s like a broken record

 

[RUChoppin]

Big 12 has 5 of the top 12!

They also have 6 of the top 17 in NET, all with 5+ Quad 1 wins.

 

[Ruthinking]

I can’t recall a time when the BIG had only one ranked team.
