preseason rankings

Postby auggiebc on Mon Sep 28, 2009 4:26 pm

when do they come out? and what will our preseason ranking be?

I'm guessing we will be somewhere between 20 and 30. Probably 26. Which is fine....and wouldn't suprise me due to the "they lost Rice" talking heads...


But if we're ranked outside of the top 30 I'll be insulted.

At the BC football game, it said they were ranked #22. Was the poll leaked?

I doubt this. The preseason voters will be too focused on the loss of Rice.

BC will be in the low 20s. Too many writers are picking them high in the ACC. All the ACC guys have them in the 3-4 range. And the national guys have had them there too, BC homer Katz in particular. Even Vitale had them up there.

I say 24.

and looking at the early part of the schedule....... between the paradise jam, OOC games, and the big 10 challenge, we could potentially begin conference play with wins over the following teams:
-Saint Joe's, Purdue, Tennessee, Providence, and Michigan (assuming we end up playing some of these teams in the "jam")

That's a fantastic resume builder right out of the gate.

BC won't be ranked because they missed out on Odom.

No, it's because they've only been to one Sweet 16 under Skinner.

Better?

Sorry if your Odom meltdown makes it difficult to see witty sarcasm in your posts these days.

Not quite a meltdown...I explained myself but some people chose not to read entire posts.

If we beat Michigan in Ann Arbor during the Big 11 Challenge then we'll be in the Top 15. Michigan is getting hyped this year.....which works to our advantage if we win that game.

I'm actually surprised we're getting any respect. I thought that Rice's graduation would lead to a slew of lazy journalist articles saying BC will have trouble replacing Rice. It's good writers are seeing the talent we see here. If only our student fans knew how good this year's team could be.

I was surprised to see that Jeff Goodman, who knows BC well from living in Boston, picked BC to finish 8th in the ACC.

The only writer we're getting respect from is Andy Katz, who has a thing for BC (I still like his articles, though.)

I like BC basketball too. I say we're low 20s until we beat Michigan when we jump up to the top 20. These rankings have got to be coming out soon.

ESPN has had them anywhere from 17-26, NBAdraft.net had them at 21, insidehoops.com had them at 20ish, 19ish, and realcollegebasketball.com has them 14-17 range.

Luke Winn's preseason power rankings. We are not even on his radar. WTF is wrong with some of these writers? Call me naive, but when you get paid to write for a major sports website, shouldn't you at least have an inkling of a fucking clue what is going on in the sport? I mean, does he really not think BC is a top 50 team??

Rivals has them 59th! Proclaiming that they are too young and will be struggle without Rice. If Biko can step it up, that could get them off the bubble. Seriously, I can see totally missing the boat with a C-USA or Moutain West team but how do you not do a little more research for an ACC team?

I'll guarantee you that at the end of the season Butler will not be anywhere near #10.
