So, I have to admit I don't recall which teams ahead of us lost during the past week, but other than us passing Pitt, where do we end up in the polls tomorrow?
#25 in the AP and #24 in the ESPN not many teams lost above us so i think we just pass PITT
Agreed. I don't know what kind of wins the teams in front of us had but I'd guess we only pass PITT.
True,
I think Texas A&M (16) lost to OK State (which is nice for us) but i don't see us jumping 9 spots, probably just 1 in the coach's poll and back in the AP...
Kansas State lost to Texas Tech this week and ND Lost to UConn. Those are the only teams above us from 18-25 that lost besides Pitt. With our two blowout wins, I think 22 ESPN and 23 AP
23rd in both.
21 in both considering the magnitude of the beatdown we gave Pitt.
Another question: why are Indiana, MSU and Bucky ranked so high??? What have they done that is worthy of such high rankings?
Louisville just above us.
ESPN / Coaches sez...
#24

Ranked 24th...
interesting.. no BEAST teams in top 10.. only 5 in top 25 (GT-11, UConn-13, ND-21, LVille-23, MU-24).. one more in others receiving votes (Pitt-27).
Louisville might be the best team I've ever seen ranked #23 this late in the year. They're top 10 in my opinion.
