Can a team 3 games under 500still be ranked in the top 20?
So that is clearly a dig at NU, and clearly if you are asking that seriously you don't know how rankings work. It is not only based on record, it's based on score margins of your games and the games of your opponents, and their rankings and strength of schedule etc. Same way a 4-3 team can be ranked in the 70s or 80s....that's how. Play it close, play hard games and you will be rewarded with a higher ranking. Get blown out and/or play a weaker schedule and your rankings will suffer. Can we all just put the NU arguments to bed. They are a good team, better than most, not the best anymore. And no my daughter does not play for them, she plays for one of those lower ranked schools where you feel NU should be, but isn't!
