I guess with so few games being played and noone losing in front of us yet, only a shorthanded Xavier loss to Oral Roberts would seem to create an opening for us to go to 10th.

Guess for now we will have to count on the RPI and computer rankings to show we are a top 6 team, and hopefully keep winning so the voters can catch up!

My only hope for us getting into the top-10 was Baylor losing at BYU. The Bears came back after trailing most of the way to take over the final 11 minutes. It was their first real test of the year (I've thought Baylor was overrated) and they passed.

Highly doubt Xavier loses today, but unless they do, we remain at 11.

I think we're not getting into the top 10 this week. Maybe Kans will get rewarded for the OSU game and pass us. Bummed that it looks like Vandy won't be ranked when we play them.

Kansas got the OSU bump last week. My guess is they might drop one because Florida beat a ranked TAMU team.

Unchanged. We beat Northern Colorado.

10 if ORU's destruction of X continues.   Otherwise still stuck at 11...won't be much movement in the polls this week.

I could see us moving up to #10 now. Xavier is losing 60-30 to Oral Roberts with 5 minutes to go.

But, as Brew said, Florida may jump in front of us due to smoking Texas A&M. But a lot of teams lower down in the poll lost this week...I think we are safely in the top 15 for the rest of the season so long as we don't lose any clunkers.

We aren't that many votes behind UConn/Missouri is either poll, so I think we can gain enough of Xavier's votes to move up one spot.
