2 weeks 6 days ago	Rutgers is ranked the 68th	Rutgers is ranked the 68th best university in the US by US News and World Report.  Not amazing by any means, but better then a number of Big 10 schools.   http://colleges.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/best-colleges/rankings/national-universities/page+7

13 weeks 2 days ago	If we beat NW and Purdue	If we beat NW and Purdue we have a higher liklihood of winning our remaining games? Man, odds makers in Vegas love people like you.   It's funny when people try to be snarkily condescending, but really just reveal their own lack of reading comprehension! He didn't say that we would have a "higher" likelihood of winning our remaining games if we beat NW and Purdue.  He said that we have a pretty "high" likelihood of winning out if we get past the next two games.  Which is a perfectly rational comment.  So not only were you being a dick, you were being a stupid dick as well.

14 weeks 2 days ago	Their loss to us was on the	Their loss to us was on the road, and other than Iowa (whom we also lost to), Wisconsin's only losses have been against teams ranked 6, 7, 8, 12 and 17 (us). We on the other hand, have lost, in addition to Iowa, to an unranked Arkansas team, 22 ranked Virginia team, and 18th ranked Indiana team, all of which are worse than Wisconsin's non-Iowa losses. Does this mean Wisconsin should be ranked ahead of us?  No.  But the resumes are close enough that its certainly not outlandish for them to be two spots ahead of us.   Let's be honest, if the resumes were flipped and the rankings were the same, we'd have fans complaining about being ranked behind them.
14 weeks 2 days ago	I think you're being unduly	I think you're being unduly pessimistic.  Even if we go 3-2 in the regular season, 12-6 in the Big 10 does not equate to a 7 or lower seed.  That's a six-seed at worst, more likely a 5.  (Assuming we don't flame out in the first round of the Big 10 tourney). Lunardi currently has us as a four seed, and that's a better predictor than rankings.  A loss to OSU combined with one respectable away loss isn't dropping us three or more seeds.
14 weeks 3 days ago	We have the most losses of	We have the most losses of any team in the top 25, so the mere fact that we're ranked shows that people are taking our strength of schedule into account.   Don't worry about a few ranking spots at this stage -- it's irrelevant.  This ain't football.  We'll be in the tournament, we'll have a good seed, and how far we go is on us, not the voters. I have to say, though, that the fickleness of our fan base is amusing.  After a loss, or after we struggle against a mediocre team, the board is filled with people complaining about Beilein's system and the limited ceiling, and a few days later we're complaining that our top 25 ranking isn't high enough.     [Edit - this wasn't meant as a reply to the OP, but rather to the people saying that, in light of our SOS, why aren't we ranked higher than Wiscy, Memphis, etc.]
