Arizona has won 13 of its last 14 with only loss on the road at Texas Tech. During that stretch they've beaten 5 ranked teams including avenging that loss to Texas Tech.

Florida has won 7/10 with only 2 of those vs ranked opponent. Granted those were both vs #1 team in teh country, but still 7/10.

Alabama more interesting. They've also won 13 of last 14 with 4 of those vs ranked teams. Not quite as impressive as Arizona, but obviously very close. That explains why they aare actually tied in BPI so OP didn't read that right.

Purdue has won 12 of it's last 16 and 11 of last 12, but have only beaten 2 ranked opponents during that time.


tl:dr = OP post is full fo shit, Arizona deserves it's spot. Florida is gay.

What about a Midwest guy who's had some really good teams, runs a fun style of play but doesn't have quite the resources to compete with the big dogs? I'm talking about Matt Painter.

Would be a great hire but I doubt he’d want to take a step back at this point in his career.
