No way. Maybe some votes but it will take some early wins in conference play to get us back to being ranked. Than again we are probably not a consistent top 25 team at this point in time.
The majority of the voters are only going to watch Sportcenter highlights and the box score. We only lost by 4 (we know how the game really went) to a very good UW team. I think UW goes up 2-3, we go down 2-3.
Yup. If the voted watched the game, we're not ranked. If they just watched Sportscenter or looked at the box score, we'll still be ranked.
I'll say we hang on around #23.
We will be #25 in the AP and unranked in the ESPN. We may jump a few in the next few weeks if we can beat all four teams by 20. Maybe!
For selfish reasons, I want us to stay in the top 25 but dropping out may be a bit of a wake-up call for the team. It's always nice to see a ranking next to your team's name and seeing their highlights on ESPN.
It's possible that we hang on to that last spot, but I don't see it. While many voters often just watch highlights and look at the box score, this game was nationally televised on ESPN. Everyone had a chance to watch it and I'm sure many of them did. We're likely out of the rankings until we can win a few conference games.
