Message: [QUOTE="newmexicuse, post: 126548, member: 57"] It is extremely clear to me that based upon performance on the court to date and our record that we hand's down deserve the # 1 spot. Discussion about whether we would beat Kentucky, OSU, or NC is just that. It should be obvious that any Top Five, and probably most Top Ten teams, could beat any of the others on a given day in a given game. So what ?? That has no bearing on who deserves to be #1 NOW. I have little doubt that we will lose a couple before the season is out, but so will all of the other top teams. It will be interesting to see how long we can maintain #1. Most likely that #1 spot will be shuffled amongst three or four teams in the course of the season. The final # 1 will be the team that from that group that gets the last winning streak. All of that should not affect today's ratings. There really should be ZERO controversy about who is #1 today. [/QUOTE]
