Sagarin ratings this morning:
Bucknell 45
Lehigh 49
We are 0-3 against top 25, Bucknell is 0-0. We are 1-3 against top 50, Bucknell 0-2. Our losses to VCU (#12), Pittsburgh (#15), Baylor (#25) and Bryant (#137). By the way, Bryant is 13-4, no pushover.
Bucknell losses to Lehigh (#49), Missouri (#33), Princeton (#98) and Penn St (#203)
This is why I hate the computer rankings. We win head-to-head on their floor, we lose to 4 higher ranked opponents, yet somehow we are 4 spots behind. 3 of our losses to Top 25 in Sagarin, and the Bryant team is ranked 66 spots ahead of PSU. Strength of schedule, where we get killed, is Bucknell (#137) and Lehigh (#221). But, nobody can convince me, at this point, that we are not a better team than Bucknell. And, have showed it in last 3 games, at their barn.
