I complete agree that saying we are top 13 misses the point. If anyone spent a few minutes watching the NU Maryland games last year, we were outclassed in every facet of the game. The game has evolved, and the other programs have more competitive depth accross the board so that having one amazing player no longer provides for a Title. The days of MJ in basketball are gone, in large part because of how games are now called, and how teams have built rosters to compete.
Being in the collegiate top 15 is like saying we made the NBA playoffs, but if you ask any of those teams not named Golden State or Cleveland, they know they are outclassed on the floor....
