I keep saying that to myself as well. And I don't expect them to be ranked when they come out today. But then again, Seth Davis still had em at 22 last night which I couldn't believe. Not that I like him, but thought he would have been the first to drop them from the rankings. So we'll see.

KenPom says #27 and Sagarin says #25. I think those are about right. Being the 25th best team isn't bad, but it's not great either. Kind of like this team so far.

In the last few years as voters have posted their ballots/reasoning to Twitter more often, it's even more clear that the polls are so stupid (national recognition, etc. aside, but I'd argue XU is past the point of only being on the radar when ranked). Seth Davis and Rick Bozich are two that post their ballots every week, and clearly put about 5 minutes of thought into the rankings. I mean, Davis keeps #25 exclusively for a small conference team he feels deserves a shoutout. The polls are dumb.

I was definitely going for a gauge of how good the team actually is. Don't disagree that RPI is interesting for NCAA Tournament purposes, but I think that's the only thing it is useful for.

Don't disagree. But I don't think we're talking about where we should be seeded (as it is January 23rd). Rather, I think we're talking about how good this team is or is not.

No. Don't think Chris Mack is in the business of actively choosing to not take on future NBA guards. That is definitely not how it happened. Kobi is very good friends with Kaiser, so X was definitely in the running but it wasn't like if Xavier passed on Q Kobi was just going to show up on campus.
