We are not last in ESPN's first power rankings of the season! Says some nice stuff about us as well.

Nice, thanks for posting! I'm only old enough to remember Collier, Sadler, and now Miles at the beginning of their careers here. Miles has given me the most confidence easily out of the three.

The previous two coaches I had hope in and thought we could do well, whereas with Miles I still have this feeling that I don't see how he could fail here. It will be a long season this year but I like what I have seen so far. GATA.

One game at a time. Enjoy the wins. USC seems like we should win but who knows.

Gallegos playing like I thought he might coming off a redshirt. And he is only a junior!

Quality depth may be our biggest issue. Later in the season it could be tough keeping guys fresh/injury free. Right now we have six guys...seven when you count Peltz. Finding spot minutes from a few more guys without hurting the team too much will be key.

10 of 18 games in the Big 10 are against current ranked opponents. 3 of 8 vs. non-ranked are on the road.

Tough season but so far so good.

The good thing is that regardless of our current record in non-conference, we are undefeated in conference play for another month!

The Crimson Quarry's power rankings agree:

Amazingly, Wake isn't picked at the bottom of the ACC power rankings. And how did we not get in on the Jared Swopshire sweepsteaks? Be nice to have an athletic 6'8" Louisville transfer giving us starters minutes instead of Northwestern.

Edited to add: Swopshire's averaging ~ 11 and 6 for Northwestern so far this season at 27 min/game.
