Illinois upsets Arky to go to 6-1. We definitely scored a tough non-con schedule this year.

I think we will look back and say it wasn't. Calipari is in Izzo territory running an outdated offense. I think Arkansas ends up a 10 seed and Illinois is in the 4-5 range.

AZ now 4:20 away from being 3-4 and further diluting our “signature win” this far. WVU leads 63-56…

Yeah, not ideal, but there’s no such thing as a bad road win. It may not be a marquee victory but there’s little chance it’s not Q1 by the end of the season.

Auburn is obviously important, but it’s also looking like the Illinois game could be a marquee opportunity at MSG with how they look. I’d still argue we “control our own destiny” for all our lofty seeding goals.
 
We very much control our own destiny. The ceiling on our offense, and our whole season, is still as anyone. There's a reason why we are still the Vegas favorite to win it all. Our offense is maybe a bit behind schedule but our defense is ahead of schedule.
 
Boy these early season tournament championships are some bad basketball. Louisville looks terrible and OU isn’t much better but leads 41-35
 
Arizona is having a brutal week. Lost 3 of 4. They seem to have the makings of a good team but our win there could end up being a quad 2 rather than quad 1.

It would take a lot for that loss to fall out of Q1, especially with Arizona now in the Big 12 (where almost every game will help their NET-related metrics given how much said metrics love that conference). That’s not something we likely need to worry about unless Arizona had fallen COMPLETELY off the bubble.
 
Lost in the background of a college football Saturday is the two more top ten basketball teams lost to unranked opponents, Houston to San Diego State and Alabama to Oregon. Will that calm some frayed nerves around here? I’m not holding my breath 😉😂

Guess Alabama will be fired up for their next game, in Chappa Heeya.
