[sailwi]

MU jumped from 17 to 7 in this week's SI power ratings, guess all those tweets to Luke Winn made a difference.

Thats one helluva jump! SI realizes that this team is filled with winners.

"He (Todd Mayo) was pegged as someone who might only be a major contributor at a mid-major level, but eight games into his freshman season, Mayo has emerged as a high-value Big East reserve who should be able to step into a starting role as a sophomore, junior and senior. Even more surprising? Although he's playing only about half the minutes that O.J. did as a frosh, Todd is scoring at nearly the same per-minute rate, with higher efficiency and a better assist-to-turnover ratio."

Also nice to see that DJO pop's up on the "One-Month All American" second team (obviously not official or a likely representation of the team at the end of the year). Its hidden in the OSU blurb

Was anyone else disappointed that we didn't have any sweet screengrabs about us?  The disrespect continues...

Also lists DJO on his 2nd team All America and Jae as "also getting votes" in his segment on #2 OSU...
