#9 in the ESPN power rankings.
2 spots behind Baylor? MU deserves a place or two better, imo
Moron? Maybe. Dork? Possibly. Lost? Definitely.

ESPN has been keeping Marquette lower than everyone else.  I’m actually surprised they put us in the top 10.

#6 again

Looking closer, we moved up in vote total (+45; 1218 from 1173), but so did Purdue and by a bigger margin (+74; 1274 from 1200).

The year Uconn won it back in 2011 the Huskies were a 6 seed at best before they were through the BET and beat literally 3 1 seeds. That boosted them from a 6 to a 3 seed in the NCAA tournament.

The committee chair was on CBS at halftime of the Memphis/ Houston game.  Their plan is to seed 1-6 by Wednesday, so not sure how much change there will be with results this week.

That's the common myth, but I'm not sure it's true. If you use the Wayback Machine to look at the old Bracket Matrix 50webs site, UConn was a 4-seed in the last bracket compilation before the Big East Tournament (February 26). They did lose 2/3 to end the season, but people forget that team was undefeated in non-con play with wins over Kentucky (in the Maui final) and Texas. That was the year before I started doing regular brackets for Cracked Sidewalks, but I think this common trope is overblown.

More important, though, the Last 10 Games criteria has been removed since then because it was deemed to be a disservice to non-high majors. So even if UConn jumped up 3 seed lines at MSG, the criteria that allowed that has been removed.

Well, quality wins, particularly away from home, haven't been removed as a criteria.  To be honest, the Last 10 Games criteria was at best a neutral for them.  Even with their 5 game run through the BET, they were 6-4 in their last 10 games going into the NCAA Tournament.  What they had were wins over an eventual 6 seed in Georgetown, 1 seed in Pitt, 3 seed in Syracuse, and 4 seed Louisville.  Prior to the Big East Tournament they were 21-9 (9-9).  Their best wins were over eventual 4 seed Kentucky (neutral), 10 seed Michigan State (neutral), 4 seed Texas (away), 9 seed Nova (home), 9 seed Tennessee (home), 11 seed Marquette (home), 6 seed Georgetown (home), and 6 seed Cincinnati (home).

Had they simply beat DePaul in the first round of the BET and then lost a close game to Georgetown to finish 22-10, I don't see any way that's a top 4 seed.

I know the novelty of being a top 10 team has worn off a bit but MU is still #6 in the AP poll. No voters have MU outside the top 10. Only two voters have them below 8. Getting a couple votes at #2.

Couldn't help but notice that it lists our last game played as the regular season win over St John's. Do the voters not consider tournament results, or is this just a wrinkle in the way the website presents the "this week" column?

Why does the BE have only 5 teams in the NCAA tournament while the Big Ten which stinks has 9?

Looks like all the "this week" games don't include the most recent week's conference tournaments. Lists Bama's last as a loss to TAMU, Houston's last as win over Memphis, etc. It appears that overall records have been updated, though.

Frankly, I didn't even know there was a new poll this week. I figured that with seedings announced last night, that would make rankings moot. (Or even more moot than ever.)

I couldn't help but notice that at least a couple voters actually put MU lower this week than last week. How? Jerry DiPaola had MU as a 6 last week and a 10 this week. Kevin Sjuts moved us from 6 to 9.  You'd think a couple of neutral site wins over top 20 teams would be enough to hold your spot in a voter's mind. Apparently not.

I guess if we would have run the gauntlet of the ACC in Racine, WI. we'd be #1.

  this is a great question...and rutgers is pissed

must have sumpin to do with the net kenpom scores of the gross quad 2 & 3 road wins taking into account halftime scores, best cheerleaders and post game handshake demeanor.  extra credit to team gpa, and tattoo originality
