Interesting dilemma. I expect ND will drop below UConn, but will they only drop to 3rd?
I presume they will be ranked higher than Duke (whom they beat, so no lower than 4th)
The only question is how losses to Baylor and WVU, with wins against UConn, Kentucky, Duke, Tenn, Rutgers, Villanova, DePaul
compare to a loss to UConn and a win against Tenn.
In common opponents, ND beat U.SC by more points than either of our games, and beat Tenn by more.
I'm sure some people look at "quality wins" and some look at losses.
The odd outcome would be for some people to say, "Even with two losses, ND should be ranked higher than Stanford. Duke barely lost to ND, so they should be ranked higher as well."Â
[I just noticed that Green Bay lost to Detroit this week. So they now have one defeat.]
