AuburnNTexas 7,197 Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 I love that he has us at #2 but I wish that we were ranked just a little lower as the higher the rank the harder teams play against you because they want the fame of beating one of the top ranked teams. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proud Tiger 4,261 Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 I love it but it sure puts a target on our back being ranked so high this early. Just ask Duke, Kansas, etc. Also provides a lot of incentive for bama Tuesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wcware 1,365 Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 We want to be great but we don’t want other people to know it? 😂 Our fanbase can and will complain about everything 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wcware 1,365 Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 To be fair I do my own share of complaining also. It makes me a great Auburn Man 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are the top team in the SEC and every single team is going to give us their best shot every night. Shying away from a high ranking is silly. I want to keep winning and hopefully get that #1 AP spot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boisnumber1 2,828 Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 Awesome stuff. This worrying about being ranked too high. Check that sh** at the door. That's a scared loser's mentality. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dual-Threat Rigby 8,813 Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 Auburn's highest ranking this millennium is 4, from 2 seasons ago. Purdue and Kansas should both drop, but both have a pretty substantial gap over us. I'd think KU drops under us, but I wouldnt be shocked if we were still behind Purdue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think all 3 will fall below Auburn but if we win both games next week Auburn will start getting more attention for the top 5. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A win against a barely ranked/right out of the top 25 Alabama (either way a Quad 1 win) and then a Quad 2 win vs Ole Miss would be huge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That will only make us better in the long run and we will need it come the big dance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUwent 3,778 Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 Basketball's a long haul but pre-2018 I never thought us even being ranked in the top 10 in this sport was possible. What Bruce has done here so far is incredible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUBwins 10,107 Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 Just a boost up to help the tahd of they win. Lol Gary Parrish in that CBS poll at least had some logic in it. We are 7-1 against Quad1 and 2 teams. Baylor is the only team better than us winning percentage wise with 7 wins that range. So feels we have 2nd best resume at this point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I think that’ll already be factored into the rankings and polls, but it would be certainly helpful at selection Sunday for them to remain elite. They certainly appear to be the second best team in conference as of rn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeroforwinger 445 Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 We’ll be Top 4. USC and Arizona will likely hold steady since they didn’t play, with Duke, Kansas, and Purdue falling below us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dual-Threat Rigby 8,813 Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 Really ALOT of Q 1/2 opportunities. Another Florida game (in the Swamp), UTk, 2 UA and UK games. Off top that’s all Quad 1 opportunities. In the absence of some ugly losses, I’d think we have as good a remaining path as any of the contenders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
