I've been asking myself this question for a while now, and despite the Bulldogs recent victory over Ohio St. (Evan Turner at home), I still think the answer is yes.

Taking a look back at last season, where Butler had almost the exact same team as it does this year, the Bulldogs really didn't do much to merit any kind of ranking (which they received at the beginning of this season).

Butler won only three games against NCAA tournament teams (at Xavier, and Cleveland St. twice), and failed to win the Horizon League tournament. Other than the game they played at Xavier, they played only two other formidable non-conference foes in Northwestern and Ohio State.

This season, Butler is 1-3 against ranked opponents, with the only win coming at home against an Ohio St. team playing with out its best player. The Bulldogs barely beat a UCLA team that has been horrendous this season, and overall they have not been very impressive in any of the games that I have watched.

I am not saying that Butler is a bad team, but they might just not be as good as everyone thinks.

This could be because they are still very young (starting three sophomores), or maybe they were just a bit too ambitious in their non-conference scheduling. Whatever the case, Butler has talent, but right now they don't deserve to be a top 25 team.
