We are terrific underdogs, but lousy front runners. Maybe that will change as depth and a killer instinct emerge over time.

For now, they’ve got to stay both hungry and humble. Now that the polls have much less to do with the postseason opportunities, I would genuinely prefer for us to ebb in and out of the rankings each week until the final few games, even as we stay undefeated.

Keep earning those Ws. Keep finding all sorts of things to do better.
