Message: [QUOTE="IthacaMatt, post: 1569399, member: 405"] Early in the year, "soft" wins don't hurt people like they do later in the year. Teams who were already ranked and remain undefeated are probably going to remain ranked above us. There is a "thing" that I've noticed in early season polls over the years - teams get grouped by how many losses they have, and if they are undefeated, teams don't usually leap over them unless they beat a highly ranked team and are undefeated too. So yes, we remain undefeated, but we didn't beat #10 Gonzaga at that tournament. That might have sprung us into the top 15 range. That's why I think we'll come in around 2oth. [/QUOTE]
