Why is Ohio State so high in the rankings?
« on: March 01, 2010, 11:40:53 AM »
I think they're a good team that's better than their record and wouldn't want to play them, but they have seven freakin losses.  They look out of place in their rankings, especially above a team like Purdue who's in the same conference with three less total losses.  They both have exactly 4 losses in conference.  What's the deal?

They didn't have Evan Turner earlier in the year.

And Purdue lost Hummel.  They are going to be sort of worthless now.

Yeah in the ESPN/USA Today they are 7th and Purdue 6th.. I believe OSU lost to UNC early this year with Turner, but hey, we only beat FHSU by single digits back then

I'm not sure any team in the nation would destroy us.  I mean, we are top 5 for a reason.  But I definitely wouldn't want them in our bracket.
