So...how far do we fall?

The question is reasonable for sure. But the dropping to the teens not being an emotional response is silly. There's no way they drop from #4 to the teens after that loss. Their RPI, Kenpom, and every other statistical measure says otherwise, so making that statement just sounds Cycloney!

I would expect a drop to the 8-10 range. But they will not be lower than top 10. Regroup with a week off and finish 4-0 or 3-1 at the very worse.

Seeing some of these posts today is like wandering over to the Cyclown board. Hilarious!!!

Perfectly said.
 


I say 10th today. But looking at Saturday's schedule of games I think 8 or 9 is more likely. North Carolina plays Miami so one of them loses. Oklahoma is at West Virginia so one of them loses. Duke is at Louisville so one of them loses. Xavier isn't a lock at Georgetown. Kentucky isn't a lock at Texas A&M. Purdue and Indiana play each other.

A lot of good teams lose games this time of year...for all kinds of reasons. Oklahoma has lost 3 out of 4...road games at Kansas State and Texas Tech and a home game to Kansas. Personally, I still think they are really good and will probably be in my Final 4 when I do my brackets.
 


The question was fine. The answer you gave to your own question was either emotional or ridiculous or both.

The answer of thinking we will drop to the teens? That wasn't emotional at all. Most of the teams behind us have won so far this week. I will obviously be pleased if they stay top 10, but I just don't see it happening. I think I can feel that way without it being called "ridiculous".

You didn't say the teens. You said 16 or 17 and that's not even remotely realistic. We lost by 3 on the road. Other top ranked teams are also losing. I have looked at the schedule for this weekend. It's almost impossible for us to drop to even 13.
 


I'm thinking 10th. Kinda depends what others do. It doesn't help that we don't have a game this weekend to try to get back in the winning column.
 


Losing during the week is better than losing on the weekends. A/P and Coaches poll voters don't have the longest of memories.
