When was the last time we were ranked pre-season? It has to be at least 60 years ago, if ever.

Nice resource. Well done.

Nice resource. Well done.

And according to this resource, the highest NU has been ranked is #6. Let's break that record this year!

I still think it's too high. Anywhere from #22 - 25 would be more fitting.

Have you not been following the BOLD Predictions thread? Everyone on NU's roster is going to average a double-double and be All Big Ten this year. In fact, the First Team is just going to be NU's starting lineup! You should be asking: how could it be so low?

Right, they should be ranked in the top 15. Certainly ahead of ND.

Not me! I said we'd suck... but then I'm an a$$hole.

I'm not sure what's crazier, the fact that this is true or the fact that we all expected it so much that we're not going nuts for it.

Actually we are ranked every year but usually about 120th.

That's all the purple kool aid these guys can drink?

It’s fun being good!

Definitely a fork in the road for Northwestern.

When you come to the fork in the road, take it.
