PurDOODOO (as in poop!) 

Second grade me laughed at this one so hard on the school bus the night that the Cats beat them in Pontiac.

[EMAWzifried]

Good ol' homer Tait. I'll wager it pains him to write in the Cats every week.

Yeah, if you think UT, Baylor and KU are all top 6 teams then you should probably like the team that's 4-2 against them.

I just copy/paste the link bro.

Regarding USC, a good teacher lets his pupil uncover the truth thru a little digging.

You of all people should know it’s unsafe to walk up to a hidden front porch, there’s a 50/50 shot the owner is waiting with their .45 just waiting for someone uninvited to walk up. Yet you’re posting unsafe internet links out here!

How does a computer algo do preseason rankings?

[BIG APPLE CAT]

Computer eyeball test, obvs

[wetwillie]

I think it's heavily weighted towards recruiting classes early in the season

[star seed 7]

Do recruiting rankings factor in later in the season? Seems worthless

Kenpom fades out preseason ratings as the season goes on, he wrote about it a few years ago iirc

Big 12 looks to be strong af this year, so lots of opportunities for some good wins to turn that around.

a good point guard would also turn it around

There is so much pandemonium in the top 25 it's hard to even tell who should be ranked, and it's 2 months into this season, which is crazy. it's not like football were it's not worth getting bent out of shape until like week 4. We're halfway through and I honestly don't think there are any "really good" teams. And BTW we will not be ranked, we didn't even have a vote in last weeks poll.

Also it's sometimes hard to really take NET seriously. There are 9 teams with 7 or 8 losses ahead of us. I "get" how it works, but eventually those losses gotta count against you. At this rate we'll go like 4-5 in the next 9 games and our NET will rise to like 30 or something dumb. I get it's competition, just so weird.

The USC and Miami losses aren't aging very well.

[BIG APPLE CAT]

The USC and Miami losses aren't aging very well.

The Nebraska loss, however, is not as cataclysmic as initially thought. I mean don’t get me wrong it’s still pretty not great, esp considering it was a home game, but if we are a bubble team I don’t think that loss will be pointed to as a reason to leave ‘em out
