So....What are we ranked on Monday - 1/6/2025?

[JamilJaeJamailJrJuan]

But who would they drop behind? 5 of the 7 teams behind them in the rankings lost as well (arguably all worse losses than @UConn). Of the two who didn't, one will for sure pass us, the other was over 300 votes behind us and had two meh home wins over teams outside of the top 80 in KenPom.

I don't see us falling lower than 11.

Yeah, but when you combine like 30 people who all have varying degrees of knowledge on the subject, you'll get more week to week variance than just looking at last week's performances.  Obviously not telling you anything you don't know. 

We've already seen some on the voters drop MU a good bit from last week.  I think they'll land in that 12-13 range, but definitely see (and agree with) your opinion.  Just don't think most of the voters really look at it that way, unfortunately.

For heaven's sake, can the AP update. My son just broke his glasses in school and I have to bring him his backup pair (but need to slip him a piece of paper with our new ranking on it).

Delayed to 11:45 CT. I think there were some preemptive upset MU fans tweeting that have voters scrambling to reconsider.

With 62 people voting, you actually get less week to week variance and everything almost always moves based on the last week's results.

15 voters had MUBB at 14 or 15.

14 voters had MUBB 11th.

8 voters had MUBB in the top 10. (7 the best)

Right - I literally said its moves based on the previous weeks results.  And Marquette got beat pretty good @UCONN in a game they were never in.  They deserved to drop, and did.  That's all I was saying.

Marquette remains at #10 in Coaches Poll

I'll be honest, I reread your post and I'm not seeing how what you wrote = it moves based on the previous week results, I may have a reading compreshension issue.

And they did drop...to 11, not to 12-13 because anyone besides Baylor who could have passed them had worse losses. All I was trying to point out, that "deserving" to drop 2-3 spots doesn't matter. And the majority of voters certainly have no idea/care if we were ever in the game against UConn. All they see is a road loss to a top 10 KenPom team.

Being ranked 11th is outstanding. And after we trounce X on Wednesday, and a few teams in front of us lose, we'll move up several spots. Life is good in MU Land!

Let's get the win over X, then enjoy the weekend and get ready for a hell of a game in Omaha, which I will be at.

Agreed 82.  Take care of business at home and MU will be solidly inside the top 10 for the Creighton show down.  What a great place to be.  Love that they control their own destiny.  Can't ask for much better.    I have a feeling the boys are going to be laser focused the rest of the way.  That 9th place prediction I'm sure is very motivating.  They are young but I think have the maturity and talent to pull it off.

Yep. And I will have absolutely no problem rooting hard for The Provi to beat Creighton tomorrow night. It would not sully our Big East title one iota if we finish first despite losing in Omaha next week -- though I don't think it's a given at all that we lose in Omaha. The Big East season is a 3-month grind. Finishing first would be a heck of an accomplishment.
