Quit making excuses for Hurley's behavior
“Yeah, Auburn is the best team in the country right now, but I’m not putting them #1 because somebody might do something better in December.”
Ok chief.
Keep Auburn 2, they need a chase… 🦅
Rankings don’t matter, especially not from 1 guy. But the logic of, “until they lose I’m not moving em” is really stupid honestly. Rank the team that’s the best today, not the team you thought might be the best and hasn’t lost yet. Never understood why voters are so stubborn with their preseason expectations
norLander is a Kansas denier! Those transfers just got comfortable And will be improving. norLander must be a Liberal
If you can’t value a team on its body of work in the first 3 weeks, then why even have rankings to begin with?
So, GP, now you're punishing Auburn for having a tougher schedule. Pathetic!
You wouldn’t move Kansas off the number one spot if Auburn goes on the road and beats Duke? You just lost all credibility with me. All based on preseason, perception and bias? Whatever.
It's wild to hear people say, oh they definitely have the best resume, but since the other team hasn't lost I won't move them.
Let’s apologize for slandering Illinois, Brad Underwood, and Terrence Shannon before we do anything else, Gary
He has Auburn #2 for rage clicks.
So this guy puts more weight on preseason rankings than real life results and eye test. How does this type of thinking exists in 2024
IOWA STATE ?
Auburn fan here. Duke probably beats Auburn at Duke. May be the best thing to happen to them for long term success. Winning at the indoor is as tough as the Jungle. This game is positive for Auburn either way on the resume. Duke is top 10 or higher. They will be a 1-5 seed. Quality opponent. Long. Best defensive metrics in the country.
Dan is a psycho. Needs therapy. That being said he gets the most out of the kids. Without the horses he may lose his freaking mind. Coach K never had to lose his cool. He always got the calls. Facts.
auburn is doing well for being the 27th best team
Laughing out loud at Parish, talking about his three children and one woman.
Great coverage of the Maui Invitational!
Dude's an absolute clown if he doesn't move Kansas down if Auburn wins at Duke. That would mean Auburn has beaten both good teams that Kansas has (NC and Duke) while also having two better wins against Iowa State and Houston.
so you don’t believe in using early (3-4 weeks into season) resumes as too much of a factor, but you’ll happily put a lot of weight into YOUR preseason rankings … make it make sense
