Big 4 Hoops Blogger Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 LINK: Big 4 Update: UB primed for huge jump in the rankings! Here's a snippet of my Big 4 Update column, previewing where I believe UB will be ranked in the polls this week. I also have my podcast and Jeremy Harris story attached. Poll Watch: Buffalo will make a large jump in the polls this week. The question is, how far will they rise? Seven teams ranked ahead of the Bulls lost this past week. Here’s a look at who UB could potentially jump. 11 Auburn – Possible 12 North Carolina – Possible 13 Florida State – Unlikely 14 Mississippi State – Lock 15 North Carolina State – Lock 16 Ohio State – Lock 17 Houston – Lock If I were a betting man, I would pick Buffalo to be slotted no lower than 15th in this week’s AP Poll. I don’t think they’ll jump Florida State with the Seminoles just missing out on upsetting No. 1 Duke. The question is, will the Bulls jump Auburn and North Carolina. I’m not sure right now. It’s certainly possible but that’s asking a lot for them to move up six spots to No. 13. For now, my prediction is for UB to be ranked No. 14 in Monday’s poll.

admin Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 I'm not sure we move up that much. There is a difference between us losing in the MAC and a P5 loss. We won at home so we should stay where we are. My only concern is what happens when we lose away in MAC. Will we drop out of top 25? I hope that's not the case. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UB92 Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 I love that you post here -- I really do. But there is a whole (extended) thread on ranking predictions that you may have wanted to post on instead of starting a new thread. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
admin Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 I guess I am wrong. I see many writers moving us up. Good for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO, ranking was only a portion of your post, so no more related to the other post than to one of its own. Perhaps the compromise would be a dedicated From the 300 Level post for all these updates? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The next time I post, I can make an extended thread that will have all of my updates in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And only offered a suggestion in case the overall group wanted a change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a decent idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I vote that it's fine 😉 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
