Ouch. We've got to start strong in conference starting with TCU on NYE. And hopefully we'll have better non-conference schedules going forward. I'm not sure what happened to Creighton but I didn't realize they had six straight losses:

One note: I made the unusual move of removing a team from the Top 25 And 1 after a 50-point win. Honestly, I don't think I've ever done this before.
Let me explain.
I've had Texas Tech ranked for a while based on the idea that when I added the Red Raiders they had 1) good computer numbers, and 2) nothing but losses to teams ranked ahead of them. Neither of those things remain true. One of Texas Tech's two losses is to a Creighton team that's now lost six straight games. That's obviously not good. Beyond that, the Red Raiders are down to 66th in the NET, 48th in Sagarin, 37th at BartTorvik.com and 36th at KenPom.com. Literally no reputable computer still has the Red Raiders in the top 30. They're 0-2 in the first two quadrants with zero wins over schools ranked in the top 150 of the NET.
