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

[wadesworld]

rooting for Badger roadkill? We are aligned.

Nobody would've guessed you'd be rooting against the Badgers.

[MU82]

Oh god. Last time we started polls on records over our next X number of games, posts about what it'll take to get to #1, etc. we floundered horribly.

It has nuthin' to do with nuthin' ... and you're a good smart fan, so you know it.

Also this:

Forget the fact that the same "how do we do in the next 5 games" polls were done all of last year too when we absolutely ravaged through the league.

We aren't getting to number 1 this year.

I agree, and I'm guessing brew does, too.

It's OK to have a little fun on a fan board, right?

[Juan Anderson's Mixtape]

I'm cheering for Purdue over Wisconsin for tournament seeding purposes. Wisconsin is near us while there is no way we pass Purdue.

Same.

After that no way we get leapfrogged- let's get back to top 5

[MuggsyB]

If I were guessing, I'd say UConn, Purdue, UNC, Kansas, and Tennessee. But that's just one person's guess.

Hopefully you hit 5-5 tomorrow

4 down, 1 to go. Nicely done.

Hope you're right on Purdue. Not a fan but the annoy me. much less than UW.

So has anyone totaled up the wins and losses for top 15 teams for the week?

[Newsdreams]

26 will be nice

[MuggsyB]

Good job Brew. 

[IL Warrior]

So has anyone totaled up the wins and losses for top 15 teams for the week?

14-12, with 2 games yet to be played today.

2-0: #1 CONN, #2 PUR, #8 KU, #9 MARQ
1-0: #11 ARIZ (plays tonight vs Stanford), #14 ILL (plays tonight vs Nebraska)
1-1: #3 UNC, #4 HOU, #5 TENN, #7 DUKE
0-1: #12 ISU, #13 CREI
0-2: #6 WIS, #10 UK, #15 TTU

It was a good week for MU to pick up 2 Ws. And another week of proof that it's hard to win conference games, especially on the road.

[MU82]

We'll pass Duke and Madison and be #7 at worst IMHO. The other teams that went 1-1 this week - UNC, Houston and Tennessee - probably will stay ahead of us, right?

1. UConn
2. Purdue
3. Kansas
4. UNC
5. Houston
6. Tennessee
7. Marquette

I think this is right; also possible to pass Tennessee (home loss to a good SC team; road win v Ky), but they were 300 votes ahead of MU.

That seems right to me.......Houston not going to drop too.much falling at Kansas.....UNC gets a nice win over Duke to mitigate their loss......ditto for Tennessee at Kentucky.

[lawdog77]

I wouldnt be surprised if Purdue jumped to #1.

[MuggsyB]

Not happening.

UNC lost to G.Tech and Tenn lost on their home floor to South C.  I'm not saying it will happen but #5 is definitely in play. 

[El Guerrero 2]

It's dumb, but the fact those games were the early week games will influence voters. Recency bias toward their weekend wins over good teams.

[WhiteTrash]

I wouldnt be surprised if Purdue jumped to #1.

I'd be very surprised. They got very fortunate with the refs to beat NU at home in OT. If Purdue was only given a 35 FT advantage they would have lost.

Many voters dont look that deep. They will see a road win at #6. UConn didnt beat a ranked team this week.

[Vander Blue Man Group]

UConn will and should remain #1.

[MuMark]

I don't think so......

[PGsHeroes32]

We will be 7 which is fair.

Honestly 7 is basically the proper ranking if you jsut take the entire season to date into account anyways. Rather than recency.

[BLWarrior91]

7...we should pass Wisconsin and Duke.

[brewcity77]

Good job Brew.

Damn should've parlayed that.
