We are now the #1 ranked team in the Big East according to Sagarin.

maybe i'm reading this wriong, but, isn't Gtown ranked ahad of us in this?
Pomeroy has us as the 10th toughest schedule in the country. Pretty impressive, and shows why there's no urgency to upgrade our OCC home schedule.
We were really helped when OSU beat A&M yesterday, besides whacking Pitt.
It's pretty amazing to look at the top 25 games played.
MU has played 8 vs. top 25 .. 3-5 record.
UConn has played 9 vs. top 25 5-4 record.
Only one other team in the top 100 has played at least 8 top 25 games.
Seton Hall .. 8 games, 1-7 record.
.. it is a little depressing to see MU's games vs. top 50. 3-6. Ouch.
Now, personally, I think if you're a top 25 team, you should be at least .500 playing top 50 teams. 9 times we've faced top 50 programs, and come away with 3 wins.

Look at it this way, we are 3-6 against the Top 29, with two losses to the same team and one loss to a team we also blew out. Not as depressing that way.
