ESPN’s way too early top 25 put them at #3.

I believe I've been the only person with the balls to put them at #1. But when you have two guys who will be probably Top 5 players in the conference... You can be #1 for the first time in program history.

I’m sure there is a whole message board full of people that will have them number 1 over at black and gold. 
 

at the end of the day polls are for the fans and are a good source of fun.  Why not put them 1.   Sure I will put them 1 on my way to early poll as well ( as long as the Zags, and UCLA are disqualified for whatever reason and are not eligible next year at the beginning of the season)

Zags are losing Suggs and Kispert and maybe more. I have zero reason to put UCLA at #1.

No, it just means you're the only one who thinks a team that was unranked most of this season and looked inferior to North Texas will be the best team in the country in November.

Good landing spot for Archie

I’m fine with them carrying a high ranking. The irony of IU finally breaking the head to head drought against them when they are peak Purdoo would be fantastic.

And I should put a team at #1 that struggled to an 11 seed on the bubble and just happened to make a cinderella run? I can hate Purdue, but also have to look at them without any bias and see that their roster is arguably the best in the nation. Will that mean they will live up to the hype? No clue.

I agree.  Top 5 roster without question.  But living up to that is another debate.

Let's see where they are ranked after we beat them three times next year :)!

They’ll think Cronin never left.

You should probably put Purdue at number two,

And North Texas at #1

Since we aren't getting him, they should kick the tires on Lewis.

Great article on the official who collapsed at the regional final.
For those who haven't heard, he had a blood clot.

Gotta be Dennis Gates here, doesn’t it? Just don’t see how they can do better.

Illinois's Trent Frazier is going pro and hiring an agent according to WCIA Ch 3

They have Curbelo coming back and..? It seems like players bolted from there pretty quickly.

I think Cockburn is still undecided, but it’s hard to tell how good Illinois will be next year.

You would think, but all the local talk this afternoon is about Archie. The thinking is that it would be a mistake to hire another short-term Horizon League coach.
