Keep it going!
Very close to #9 ....
(remember our REGULAR SEASON peak was #8 in 2002, 2007 and 2008. Have to go back to the 1970s to find a lower number).

Baylor and Mizzou both have some challenges this week. St Mary's or WVU could both hand the Bears a loss, though I'm guessing Mizzou will handle Illinois. If we remain undefeated, we have a decent chance to climb into single digits next week.
Too bad about Vandy. From ranked to 5 votes. No chance they're ranked when they visit the BC.
get used to seeing murray state up there. their toughest game left is at kenpom 180 Austin Peay. currently a 13.5% chance (in december!) of going undefeated.

Damn... couldn't take over the top spot in Scott Wolf's poll.
I had trouble with pollspeak.com all year long, but I've been able to access AP poll votes for the first time this season this week. Highest was #2 (Wolf), lowest votes were a pair of 14s and a pair of 13s. 18 top ten votes.
Marquette at No. 10 in both polls
Marquette (10-0) has cracked the top 10 in the college basketball polls - coming in at No. 10 in both the Associated Press writers' poll and the ESPN coaches' poll.
Wisconsin is No. 13 in the AP poll and No. 14 in the ESPN poll.
The Golden Eagles play at unranked LSU tonight.

He had us at 9th last week... that means we probably are probably 16 votes closer to #9 than we look.

I had the same though initially, so I looked a little closer, and I think that he didn't submit a ballot this week--he shows up as N/A (not Not Ranked or N/R) on ours, and looks to be the same on other teams as well (#9 Missouri included).
Although, he did have the real MU ranked higher than Mizzou last week by 4 places, so we might have been 4 votes closer to #9 than we look.
N/A I think means he did not submit a ballot at all. It would say "unranked" if he did not have us on the list, but had ranked others.
Ah okay. Thanks... learn something new everyday.
John Wilner of the San Jose Mercury News has Wisconsin ranked 10 and Marquette ranked 14 ?-( Not sure what he's smoking but there is an opportunity to rate this voter as "bad" by going to: http://www.pollspeak.com/component/option,com_psreport/Itemid,3/lang,en/p,40/r,V/s,18/t1,122/t2,/v,35/w,7/
