Marquette #18 Coaches Poll Awesome Thank You

[mileskishnish72]

had a couple of thoughts looking at the polls. How sweet is it in the AP to see UNC get one vote?
And nothing for Creighton in the Coaches' (unless I missed it)? They have a good shot to come back and make that poll look bad.

Creighton is 10-8........nobody is ranked when they are 10-8.

Yep. At some point you have to win games, even though Creighton (and Villanova) had an even worse luck factor in KenPom than even MUBB heading into today.

Nailed it for the AP. Coaches know more than writers...at least this week!

Everyone should take their viewing experience so seriously that they need double knee replacements, like one of our representatives.

I'll wait for the TAMU list of how everyone ranked in front of us did. He sure knows ball.

Taking my own stab...

• #19 Clemson lost @ Wake Forest, won v Virginia Tech
  
• #18 Charleston won v William & Mary, won @ Monmouth, won v Northeastern
  
• #17 Miami won v Syracuse, lost @ Duke
  
• #16 Auburn won @ LSU, won @ South Carolina
  
• #15 UConn lost @ Seton Hall
  
• #14 TCU lost @ West Virginia, won @ #2 Kansas
  
• #13 Kansas State won v #2 Kansas, won v Texas Tech
  
• #12 Iowa State won v #7 Texas, lost @ Oklahoma State
  
• #8 Xavier lost @ DePaul
  
• #6 Gonzaga lost v Loyola-Marymount

Likely Passing: Clemson, Charleston, Miami, UConn
Maybe Passing: TCU, Iowa State, Xavier
Unlikely Passing: Auburn, Kansas State, Gonzaga

Range is probably 13-16. I'll say 14 (passing the first four, Iowa State, and Xavier).

Thanks brew. Keep up the good work and you'll get the coveted Ball Knower designation.

I'll go with Lucky #13!

Disagree with Auburn, I think Marquette passes them up.
They won 2 on the road but LSU is in a tailspin and the other team is bad.

Marquette beat a top 25 team and trounced a middle of the pack BE team on the road.

So, I think Marquette passes up the 5 teams directly ahead of them
Clemson, Charleston, Miami, Auburn, UConn.

Zags and X win drop several spots right to Marquette range.

Then the 5 B12 teams are all a crapshoot.
Kansas lost twice.
Texas lost once @#12 Iowa St
Iowa St beat Texas and lost to OKSt
K St beat Kansas and won twice
TCU won at Kansas, but lost @ WVU

Sooo, at first I thought Marquette doesn't pass any of the B12 teams, but it seems absurd to have 5 of them higher than the highest BE team, which will be MU/X as they will be neck and neck but I think Xavier still stays ahead.

So I'll go with Marquette passes one, Iowa State, and I think Kansas drops to the back end of the top 10.

So that makes 6, with Zags and X possible to pass up.

If I had to revise I'd go with 14, but there's recency bias and Marquette will be trending and that matters.
So I'll stick with 13

MU will be just fine.
