[QUOTE="Gone, post: 3708996"]
I'm not arguing that Cuse is indisputably better than Georgetown.  My point is simply that until Georgetown plays some highly ranked teams, it is hard to evaluate them against the perennial ACC powers and BIG10.  Cuse typically has a brutal schedule with ACC, Cornell, Army etc. who are all ranked.  Cuse could easily lose most of their ACC games in 2021 and still be a good team.  For ranking purposes, unfortunately (or fortunately??) for Georgetown, their schedule has not been as tough.

Georgetown certainly looks to be a strong team and will have the chance to prove it against Denver and Villanova in their conference.  Hopefully they add a couple of other strong teams outside their conference.  Playing high pressure games against strong opponents tends to be the best test of a team's abilities.

Comparing records of opposing teams last year can be misleading based on relative strength of schedule of those opposing teams - sample size is small so I don't want to go there.  And as a Cuse fan, I'm happy to acknowledge that Cuse's performance in 2020 was solid but not overwhelming with offensive struggles against Army.
