lost 452 Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 Newest rankings will be at the top of this post. Will start adding the RPI after the 10th game of the season. 12/3 Update: AU is #8 in both polls & #7 in the newest NET rankings. Also worth noting AU is #5 in the RPI & #8 in the KenPom rankings which many people in the basketball world is the best rankings system out there. AU is #16 in the first ever NET rankings. It has replaced the RPI & is now the standard the NCAA committee looks at for selections. https://www.ncaa.com/rankings/basketball-men/d1/ncaa-mens-basketball-net-rankings On 11/19/2018 at 11:51 AM, weathergeakal said: https://collegebasketball.ap.org/poll Auburn moves up to #8 Auburn #9, Tennessee #5 Kentucky #10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tgrogan21 6,198 Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 Holy crap, I know it's a long ways away and might not ever come to be ... but the thought of going into Maui and beating Xavier, Duke, AND Gonzaga has me almost salivating. It's a good time to be a basketball fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it bad for me to see that the only team I think we can lose to in maui is Duke? I think everyone else we could beat. Even the Zags since their star guy is out.

But AU can definitely beat either team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doverstutts 1,643 Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 i am just in awe of the moment !!!! lost interest in football last year when we didn't get a new coach and that interest is now directed all toward basketball....all of the excitement and anticipation a 64 year old can muster.....i'll need to smoke some dope next week to calm me down before the tourney....never smoked dope before so that shows how hyped i am Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I was saying in my earlier post is the loser of the AU Duke game should we get to that point will finish third. If we lose to Duke we may be 3rd in the tourney final standings but could be no worse than the 2nd best team in the Maui Tourney. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BJCrawford 1,568 Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 How do losses in basketball affect rankings vs football? Will Auburn stay where they are given their loss to Duke being a “good loss”? What about North Carolina’s loss to an Unranked team? Does that move Auburn up? Thanks!

Since there are usually 2 basketball games a week it depends on the 2 teams you play in a given week. Typically a 2-0 week in basketball is like a 1-0 football week. An 0-2 basketball week is like an 0-1 football week. A 1-1 basketball week is like half of a 0-1 football week with little or no drop. 1 hour ago, BJCrawford said: Will Auburn stay where they are given their loss to Duke being a “good loss”? between 8 & 10 IMO. 1 hour ago, BJCrawford said: What about North Carolina’s loss to an Unranked team? Texas will be ranked if they beat Sparty today. 1 hour ago, BJCrawford said: Does that move Auburn up? Not neccesarily. They probably still have to lose to UCLA today. Also if FSU & Sparty win their tourneys this week they will jump us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine AU will stay the same. No chance MSU or FSU jump us especially since MSU already has a loss and AU still has 3 quality wins. What will be interesting is to see if AU jumps Tennessee in the polls after their loss to Kansas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
