One would think we would be in the mid-teens in both polls. However, we will probably be a little higher in the AP, considering we are currently 24th. 

Any thoughts??

We have an opportunity to jump really high in the AP.  The 5 teams ahead of us all lost, as welll as #15 and #16.

I'd say around #15.  I don't know if writers are capable of putting a team over 10 spots higher than their previous ballot (even if they deserve it...).  Here's the ESPN link.  http://sports.espn.go.com/ncb/rankings?poll=1&year=2007&week=11 (http://sports.espn.go.com/ncb/rankings?poll=1&year=2007&week=11).

Gary Parrish has us at #13, one spot ahead of Pitt.  He had us at #25 last week.

I agree, ranks seem to be a curse.  I would rather have a low rank and win four straight versus having a high rank that puffs us up and then get upset.  In any regards, great playing Marquette!

should be interesting... I believe MU is playing like a top 16 team right now, 4 wins in a row, three on the road to all perennial NCAA tourney teams.  They will be 18-19 in the polls though

Looks like 27.8% of us are right, 62.5% are too pessimistic, and 2.8% are too optimistic.  After some games, this sounds like it is about the right breakdown.

Actually, 69.5% are too pessimistic  :P
