In 9 games...

[UT IE 95]

You're right completely irrelevant and thought to be such a garbage team yet are projected in the tournament by Joe Lunardi, great logic.

You are citing a play-in game as a sign of national relevance?

You do realize that we are talking about 2+ weeks away from now right...do you suspect everyone in the top 25 to go undefeated over the next 2 weeks?

We're not 26th knocking on the door to walk in when a top team does lose. You realize that right?

If you're projected to be an at large team in the NCAA tourney...yea I'd say you're somewhat relevant.

You know what they call the last guy selected in the NFL draft too right?

What does how many points you score a game have to do with being ranked? What an idiotic statement.

And this just flat out proves your negativity and bias...you list those wins, yet dont mention the best win and vs a ranked team in Wichita State...wow.

If this team is 9-3 with losses to 3 ranked teams, and a win against a ranked team, yes I'm pretty confident they'll be ranked.

(Georgetown and Okie State are ranked, Virginia is not, but likely will be within the next week)

Is UT even receiving votes right now? I might buy into this train of thought if Memphis was ranked, but they aren't ranked and aren't receiving votes either.

Also, in the polls the 2 sub 40 point games do matter. RPI? No, but the polls are voted on by people and those back to back ugly losses will take a while to fade away in peoples memory. Sad to say, with no real premier OOC games left, I don't think UT can crack the top 25 without a significant run on into SEC play.

We were sitting at 44 week 3. Dropped out of sight week 5. Not seen since.
Won't be ranked unless we beat someone like KY or FLA and not then if we lose any of the next 3.

One is the 270 something person taken, the other is one of 38 at large teams, great comparison.

They are both irrelevant.

Is that you setting up your argument for march?

You wanted CCM to make a tourney and said that's when you'd start to give credit. Are you now setting up your argument for if this team is one of the last teams in? You're gonna say how we are irrelevant and what not?

It kills IE to be positive.

Professional. Yeah. What's the point? He's still drafted.

The post was intended to be a joke - but it went over the basketball savants heads. The last guy is called Mr. Irrelevant. They throw him a party and welcome him to the club.
