I dont have Luke Winn in my preseason top 10000000000 people that I give a about, so I guess its fair.

Whatever. We lost a lot of talent on paper, so I'm comfortable with starting in the mid-teens.

If a couple of things fall into place, by the end of the year, we'll be top 5. Mark it down.

 

[cusetown1]

cancel the season.

I hope ennis doesnt read this, we are donezo if he does

Shouldn't we already be moving on to Jordan?

I agree, and I also think the Winn is one of the better analysts out there. I bet he would also agree that SU has the talent to climb into the top 5 by the end of the season.

Luke Winn is a real jerk

I think there should be a separate "Poll Disrespect" forum on this board.

I heard bjorn crossed over to the pay side, and was in charge of the applications..

No problem here with being ranked #17 by Winn. He is entitled to his opinion and given all the things that need to go the way we want them to go does not mean it will happen. I would disagree with him much more if he had the Orange in his preseason top 5.

HA!! Now that was funny!! :rolling:

Cooley will find it a little harder to move Coleman than Christmas.

 

[Whitey23]

I have to agree with him. I'm not as in love with next year's team as some others are. Lot of people need to step up!

 

[pearl31]

whatevs. I'd have no problem with him putting us at 17—If there were legitimately 16 better teams. Look at his top 16. I mean, really look at it.

Agreed. And by arguing this point, I'm not saying that where Luke Winn ranks us has any bearing on how our season turns out. But Kansas lost a lot on paper too, and they're #8. Ohio State lost a lot and they're #7. Florida lost Beal and has a decent class coming in...nothing special, and they are ranked #6. Notre Dame is at #11. Really?

It's nice to feel underrated as much as it's nice to be ranked real high so ultimately, it doesn't matter that much to me. But it's worth talking about, and I agree with pearl on this one.

Where did he have preason this past season?

 

[normaliswear]

Ehh not outragous. I put in the 15 or so area with our youth leaving a lot of room to move up or down.

 

[dinno28]

it's not like he didn't rank us ... and after losing so much I think 17 is fair

The Next 16: 17. Syracuse, 18. Michigan State, 19. Creighton, 20. Wisconsin, 21. UNLV, 22. VCU, 23. San Diego State, 24. Arizona, 25. Marquette, 26. Minnesota, 27. St. Louis, 28. Texas, 29. Tennessee, 30. West Virginia, 31. Georgetown, 32. Butler

[EastCoast2]

Oh well, this season is a lost cause now. Let's talk 2013-2014.

I'm fairly certain that if we beat Ohio State and made it to the final 4 this year, we'd be in his top 10...

How you exit the tourney is a factor in next year's prelim rankings... hence why Kansas and OSU are ahead of us... Final 4 gives you a nice bounce unless you lose everyone...

I guess I agree with that, but how do you explain UK at #4? 5 guys from last season's roster declare for the draft (Davis, Jones, Teague, Lamb and Kidd-Gilchrist) and 3 more (including Miller) exhaust their eligibility. Top returning player in terms of mpg will be Wiltjer and he averaged only 11 minutes per game - he was 7th among all of their player last season. Add to that the 8th and 9th guys in terms of minutes per game were seniors and should be gone too.

And we have question marks?
