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

[Galway Eagle]

I am so pumped for Thursday morning. I think some of these guys are going to come out with swagger we haven't seen before under wojo

Man had no idea it was that long. Figured we slipped in at some point two years ago. Rankings don't mean squat in mid-November and I don't consider this the sign that We're Officially Back (that'll be making the Sweet Sixteen this year). But. It's nice to be relevant.

A few weeks during the 15-16 and 16-17 seasons we received votes during one week respectively.

1807 days...is exactly 1807 days too long...this had BETTER be the last time this program is unranked for a VERY VERY VERY long time.

[Goose]

It has been a long time since last ranked and hope this is a start of a long time being ranked.

Chill amigo, even if we take care of IU and Pres then we follow that up with a week against a top 5 team which we'd then have to take down another top 5 team. Maybe wait till the Big East season.

Yeah but beat IU and we ain't getting knocked out of the top 25 for losing to Kansas.

Maybe if we also lost to UL.

I disagree. It depends more what the teams sandwiched around us do. If numbers 25-28 pick up wins and 23 and above continue to then I think we'd fall out.

This.  I'd also add that it really doesn't matter this early.  If we beat I4 and go 1-1 in Brooklyn, whether or not we're ranked has nothing to do with the fact that (assuming no cupcake slip-up) November would have gone as well as possible.

There's no way a Kansas loss would bump us.

That week is holiday tourney week. Everyone is playing real competition...so yeah, some will win. But others will lose to teams much worse.

Of course we have to beat IU first. But I'm willing to bet if we beat IU we stay in the polls til loss #2 at the soonest.

Not a perfect comparison but in 2013-14 we were 17 and 1-0 then went 1-1 with the loss being to no 10 Ohio st. We dropped 25. Again not a perfect comp but I stand by my stance. Probably find out soon though.

We didn't just lose to Ohio State.  We got embarrassed by Ohio State.  I brought 3 HS (non Marquette) friends to that game - we traveled 350 miles by car to get to Milwaukee to go to that game. 

Just brutal.

[wadesworld]

Respect the process.  A loss to Kansas won't mean a thing if we also lose to Indiana.  Biggest game of the season is Wednesday.

We were actually 2-0.  We beat Southern and Grambling, the latter of which is when "Magic Dawson" emerged.

College poll archive said 1-0 first week 2-1 next week.

I misread your post.  I thought you said 1-0 when we played Ohio State.  Sorry.

[JamilJaeJamailJrJuan]

This already?

[MU82]

this had BETTER be the last time this program is unranked for a VERY VERY VERY long time.

Or else what?

[GoldenEagle323]

Or else what?

Fire Wojo

Not even close to the biggest game of the season.

[naginiF]

At least 'the next game is always the most important game of the season' can be reasonably argued as accurate.  The "MU BETTER do _______ or else" is completely illogical.

Legal disclaimer: If MUGuru threatens to plant a bomb at the FF or attack Wojo, this is not an intention to 'trigger' him.

What's the deal with the USA Today poll? Did they just, um, decide not to do it this week?

THAT game?  I remember that awful day.

Me too... for 1000x reasons it was terrible
