Goodman & Parrish have SU #2

For me the jury is till out on Harvard. They have had 1 "quality" win against FSU (then #20) who has since dropped 3 in a row. They beat a UCF team that beat UConn but lost to FSU and are now 5-2 ... with no wins against anybody but UConn. The other "big" win Harvard has is against a very weak Utah squad (1-6). and ... they are sitting 192nd in p/g, 254th in r/g, 224th in a/g, and 101st in fg %. and they're going tolose to UConn this week.
I would rather see Tulane break the Top 25 ... 9-0 and sitting 104th in p/g, 85th in r/g, 48th in a/g,and 134th in fg%.

Tulane ain't getting ranked anytime soon. Cincy went undefeated into January last year before being ranked, and though Cincy played a horrible schedule, it was a gauntlet compared to Tulane's.
 
Harvard's in (24th) and Tulane ain't (only 2 votes) ... Harvard will be out again next week.

I want Tulane in the top 25 so SU can play and beat another top 25 team.
 
I'm actually kinda nervous about us being this high. Just using the look test we've been good but not great. We've blown out the scrubs on our schedule so that's good. We have, however, looked lackluster at times against the three decent teams we've played against. The defense has been good, but our offense just disappears sometimes. The idea of playing a team that can compete with our size while also having a decent perimeter game concerns me. To be clear, I'm not saying this team doesn't have a shot at a final four, just that we're not yet as good as our record. Hopefully by february we are.
 
I'm not nervous. We have a very good team, we just don't click on all cylinders against better competition - but that's good! It give our players the experience they need, the adjustments they have to make, to play against stronger competition. I think our depth this year will be really important. Would love to see Southerland play more consistently, however.
