Looking at the rankings, can someone please explain how Wisconsin is ranked 17 at 4-2 with a loss to ND on a neutral court, while ND is ranked 37 at 6-0 after just beating UW? It boggles my mind.

There's a lot to it.
I didn't take the time to read it fully, but generally use his numbers and stats as a guideline for looking at how we are doing overall and nothing more than that. And for tournament pools, when an educated guess or a hunch isn't enough.
Look at the win probability chart for the UW-ND game. That'll help explain it.
