A bit over the skis there "14". There was no "argument". Two posters stated personal opinions. That in the whole scheme of "team" selection its where you stand come the beginning of March, not where you happened to be ranked today. The remainder of your post seems to be some wild interpretation that has zero merit. I have heard this opinion more then just two posters today. People say it for football, basketball, baseball whatever. So their opinions are just that, opinions, but mine has zero merit. Most of my post was about enjoying the ride, and letting the players enjoy their accomplishments and ranking. But yeah, zero merit, along with my opinion about your posts. Again... over the skis. Your post had zero merit as to what was discussed. You decided to add multiple other facets that had zero to do with the OPs. Chill

And I’m totally chill 🙄. It makes me laugh that you answer for other people, tell me my opinion has zero merit but that Im the one that needs to chill. Pretty sure I didn’t ask for your thoughts or actually care. Instead of sitting online waiting for the next person to post something you disagree with so it must be wrong, why don’t you let the op answer for themselves. You know, a discussion like you said they were having. You telling people they’re wrong or have zero merit isn’t a discussion. So whenever you want to have an adult discussion with me, I’m all for it. Otherwise you should probably unstick yourself from your chair and chill out yourself. You have an absolutely wonderful day.

Again... over the skis. Your post had zero merit as to what was discussed. You decided to add multiple other facets that had zero to do with the OPs. Chill Rebuttal george, how about posting your thoughts vs commenting on others' thoughts. So, that is extremely funny. A message board where people don't comment on other people's thoughts?? Do you practice that? Did you just practice that? LOL... would this message board exist? Funny stuff... And... if the two posts are stating the same idea in different words? Mine: And really why personally I don't care about rankings and such too much. It all plays out come Pac12 tourney time. Effing injuries are the one huge factor that no one can see or wants. As you said for anyone/team. But, unfortunately part of athletics and part of what some teams have to try to overcome. Hoping her MRI comes back with some good news.
wbosh: Exactly, don't worry about rankings.
Step 1 - Try to earn the bye in the Pac-12 tournament.
Step 2 - Try to get a top 16 seed in the NCAA and earn the home games in Gill.
Do those things and the rankings will take care of themselves. And then a post that goes off on a bunch of "stuff" that has zero to do with these and the end of the season seedings. Not one issue was raised about "enjoying the ride", player sentiments, etc. As the posts were about team seeding at the end of the season is all that truly counts as far as the ultimate goal. The poster added all this ancillary info as if the OP/myself (as he stated "their") ignored or didn't realize there are other aspects to being ranked. However, it is very apparent that was not what wbosh and I were indicating.

I would also throw out there that rankings effect recruiting. You have players that may not know much about OSU that see us ranked highly and it catches their attention. It's just another part of the marketing that's needed for a program in little 'ol Corvallis to attract top talent. Of course winning in the tournament matters but it all plays together to present our program as a top destination.

The poster added all this ancillary info as if the OP/myself (as he stated "their") ignored or didn't realize there are other aspects to being ranked. However, it is very apparent that was not what wbosh and I were indicating. I guess I really don't understand how you don't see what I was trying to say. Rankings now very much influence seeding and voters later on. A higher ranked team is going to get seeded higher in the tournament. If we are #18 now and win some more games we will be higher. But if we are unranked now, but still win some games near the end, we might crack the top 25. So who is going to get seeded higher? The team that has been ranked part or most of the year, or the team that just got ranked at the end of the year or who isn't ranked at all. And you keep spouting off about discussions. That's what I was doing, stating my opinion about rankings in general. But instead of being an adult, you tell me my post has zero merit, your usual reflex when someone disagrees with you. Should I type all of my thoughts and discussions in caps and bold from now on? Would that make it have merit? You tell me to chill, but who's the one freaking out and typing in bold? Huh, what a great conversationalist you must be. Hi I'm happy the Beavers are ranked!! NO ONE CARES THAT THE BEAVERS ARE RANKED UNTIL THE END OF THE YEAR!! LET EVERYTHING PLAY OUT UNTIL IT MATTERS THE MOST!! THE RANKINGS WILL TAKE CARE OF THEMSELVES!!! There, now can we have a nice conversation? . Seriously, if you had just said why you thought I was wrong, or why you said what you did, I would have answered. Chill

"14"... first there was never "right" or "wrong" that was a you assumption I guess.
Again... read the initial reply. Brief, to the point, no blame. Clarified it was opinion about weekly vs end of season standing.... as far as a team in the postseason goes.
🐎 sufficiently beaten. Go Beavs

Oregon game at MKA will be difficult I’d imagine. Kyei has been playing very well lately and Civil War sweeps have been very rare. Even when Oregon has been the better team (aside from Ionescu’s senior year) OSU has found a way to split. We should beat Cal at home but every other game could go either way. UCLA is very beatable at home without Betts. The Beavs swept Oregon during Ionescu's frosh season in '16-'17, the most recent of OSU's back-to-back-to-back PAC-12 regular season titles. Time to get it done again.

When players or fans say that Gill is a special place to play we often hear that every team says the same thing. And then announcers say it and we hear that they say that about every place. But then you get a Mary Murphy who gives examples of how it is different. Most places the crowd claps for a basket, at Gill it just keeps going. When the team is down the crowd lifts them up. But the one thing that is different about Gill is that we hear it from opponents. It's a tough place to play. Sometimes I think I hear a bit of envy in their voices.
