[QUOTE="Deleted member 29907, post: 1564953"] Let's not forget we are only 6 games into the season - and most seasons, there were alot of cupcakes in that early season mix. We're also using two very talented freshman who are just getting their legs underneath them. I guess I don't see a valid floor vs ceiling comp yet this early into the season given early reliance on youth and playing some pretty tough teams early. I look at the Miznoz game as a bit of a one-off given the nature of a rivalry plus the really crappy flow of the game due to the refs (bad calls on both side the entire game). And I don't think we'll shoot that clip at the line again. Duke is not that great, but still a convincing win at Cameron is nice. Net is, I think our fall out of the top 10 is unwarranted. Away game wins are tough to get against tough teams, and if they rewarded Miznoz with a top 20 spot, I am not sure how I can see a drop out of top 10 for us. But hey, fix it this week -I feel like we're still a top 5 team - but have to get back quality wins to convince those who vote. [/QUOTE]
