Actually, I don't disagree with any of that outside of who #2 is.  I just don't think it's us and haven't for a couple of weeks (and posted so in the couple of threads that were about the rankings).  I'm really not trying to be a di^&, it's just honestly the way I see it.  I agree with you...I don't know who the #2 is (it could be us) but right now I would probably put us 3 and certainly no worse than 4 (the Missouri...or lack of seeing Missouri enough...factor).
 
Something you mentioned that I had not thought about (which I think supports exacty what we are both essentially saying) was just which teams would have come in and won these three games?  Those were pretty good shots that Louisville, UCONN, and Georgetown gave us and aside from a couple of teams...I agree, it's hard to see others going 3-0.
 
The one thing I will disagree with you on...definitely not peaking right now.  You can't make one shot from outside the paint and truly believe we are peaking.  That part where I do agree with you is that I have always believed that teams go in waves throughout the season.  If we are going through a slump (or coming out which I do believe we are), now is the right time.  Start strong, take some lumps along the way, finish strong.
 
RF has another thread going about the value of close games.  I agree with that 100%...I would just like to see us: dictate tempo a little better, better position on DEF rebounds, and shoot a bit better.  Then I would feel more confidant about saying that we are the #2 team in the country and in fact would probably say we are the best team in the country (as I was earlier in the season).
