Providence and MU should be ranked.  I think we get close but still not in the Too 25.  If we beat UConn, we will be ranked next week.

[MU24]

Should be ranked, Prov will def get ranked. Baylor is out of the standings which is kinda surprising, they seem really good on paper but have had stinker losses at home.

[Ellenson Guerrero]

Most of the teams in the back half of the top 25 lost this week; if they get dinged as hard as we did for losing to PC, we should be in the rankings.

No. 15 Indiana — lost to Iowa
No. 16 Duke — blown out by NC State (scraped by BC)
No. 17 TCU — lost to Iowa State (but beat Baylor earlier in the week)
No. 19 Baylor — lost to TCU and Kansas State
No. 20 Missou - Lost to Arkansas (scraped by Vandy today)
No. 21 New Mexico — lost to Fresno State and UNLV
No. 22 Auburn — lost to Georgia (but beat Arkansas today)
No. 24 Ohio State — lost to Purdue (play MD tomorrow)

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

Looking at the teams ahead of us, I think the highest team we could pass is #19 Baylor who lost twice at home (though to solid teams by a combined 4 points). We're also definitely getting hopped by Providence. Here's what the last week has looked like for the teams between us and Baylor:

#19 Baylor (520 votes) L vs. TCU, L vs. K-State
#20 Missouri (329) L @Arkansas W vs. Vandy
#21 New Mexico (290) L @Fresno State L vs. UNLV
#22 Auburn (287) L @Georgia, W vs. Arkansas
#23 Charleston (116) W @North Carolina A&T W vs. Delaware
#24 Ohio State (114) L vs. Purdue ??? @Maryland
#25 Iowa State (94) W @Oklahoma W @TCU
ORV1 LSU (83) L @Kentucky L @TAMU
ORV2 SDSU (72) W @Wyoming
ORV3 Mississippi State (62) L @Tennessee W vs. Ole Miss
ORV4 Kentucky (53) W vs. LSU L @Alabama
ORV5 K-State (41) W @Texas W @Baylor
ORV6 Illinois (21) L @Northwestern W vs. Wisconsin
ORV7 Marquette (20) W @St. John's W vs. Georgetown
ORV8 Providence (14) W vs. UConn W vs. St. John's

Definitely Passing
Illinois
Kentucky
Mississippi State
LSU
New Mexico

Maybe Passing
Ohio State (depends on what they do vs. Maryland tomorrow)
Auburn
Baylor (I think we pass them but that's a big vote gap to overcome)

Definity Not Passing
Kansas State
San Diego State
Iowa State
Charleston
Mizzou

My guess is that at best we can sneak in at #25. If Ohio State wins tomorrow, I think we end up as the first team left out

Illinois?  My guess is we will be around #28.

What is your confusion with Illinois?

[Vander Blue Man Group]

What is your confusion with Illinois?

Don’t think he realizes that even though Illinois wasn’t ranked they had one more vote than us.

[Scoop Snoop]

What is your confusion with Illinois?

Muggsy is always confused.

[MuggsyB]

What is your confusion with Illinois?

They lost to Northwestern earlier in the week, of course they won't be ranked.

What part of TAMU's post that you quoted indicates otherwise?

Okay.  I didn't look at their votes the prior week and realize they were ahead of us.  Either way do teams outside the T-25 automatically stay in their spots vs other teams week to week?  I mean obviously if we beat UCONN and XU we will jump teams that may be ahead of us that also win this week.

It's always crowded in the "also receiving votes" list. As you have said, it's going to require beating both UCONN and Xavier. I doubt that going 1-1 will help us much.

[rocket surgeon]

just received the "team rankings' thing-only a 12% chance at auto bid?  wonder who their actuary is?  a madison grad?

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

No, obviously not. But last week's vote count give us an idea of what teams the voters perceive as being around the same level of us. We can then compare what each of those teams did since the last vote to get an idea of who will be rising and who will be falling and get a good guess of where we might land.

I mean obviously if we beat UCONN and XU we will jump teams that may be ahead of us that also win this week. 

Yes, you are right this is obvious. You'll notice in my post I have Providence jumping us even though we won both our games this week because their wins were better than ours.
