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

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

B1G looking strong. 6 teams in the top 25 and Indiana, Maryland, and Nebraska are the top 3 vote getters in "Others receiving votes."

I4 - vs. Marquette (0-1 against others teams not in the KenPom bottom 300)
Maryland - vs. Hofstra (no good wins)
Nebraska - vs. Seton Hall (no other good wins)

Sure it's based on perception at this point. Personally, I was expecting a lot of Big 10 teams in the 20-40 range. I think that's how it will play out in the end.

Agreed - they have loads of mediocre teams.

Guys, we are going to get smoked on Wednesday.  Don't even bother getting yourself excited about a W. 

I am going to watch and root like hell for a W, and obviously hope it happens.  But we're talking 10% or less chance.  This team has not looked good at all and we're playing likely the best all around team in the country.  Its not going to go well.

Are you rooting from the 508?

Are you rooting from the 508?

J5 said he's not coming. Gave some other excuse, but it's probably because he heard you may be there.

Are you almost definitely coming? I'm debating what to do on Weds (MG or stay DT after work). I may leave the office around 1pm and get looooose before the game, then walk over to 508.. but not 100% sure yet. I'm not expecting a big turnout, but who knows.

Yes, almost definitely.

MU received 8 and 7 points respectively in this weeks  AP and Coaches poll. So a few voters gave MU the benefit of the doubt on the road loss in a tough venue.

I am hoping that the  NY area MU fan base shows up at Barclay , could give the team a boost this week.

FWIW, only one AP voter (Theo Lawson) ranked MU and he did so at 19. That is how we have 7 votes

Mainly just worried I'll have to protect my fiance from Jay Bee's advances while the poor girl just tries to watch the game!

No longer receiving votes after an L to Kansas and a clutch W over Louisville - yet UW moves up after a loss to UVA (and win over Oklahoma and not-so-good Stanford team). Nothing to see here...

MU doesn't deserve to be ranked or receiving votes at this juncture, and pretty sure we were only receiving votes last week because one dude must've missed the Indiana game and left MU at 19.

I like that dude.

[Windyplayer]

If we go undefeated until conference play -  a distinct possibility - what's our ranking?

I'm guessing #12-#16 range.

[Archies Bat]

Also receiving votes.

[Galway Eagle]

Also receiving votes.

A decent few ranked teams have lost this week. I could see us sneaking in.

[MarquetteDano]

A decent few ranked teams have lost this week. I could see us sneaking in.

I think we need to win out against UTEP and Rodents then we would be ranked. I am guessing just some votes this week.

[tower912]

A couple of votes.  Maybe.

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

Not

[brewcity77]

I think we'll be receiving votes. Here are teams ahead of us that lost:


9) Michigan State (Lost @ Louisville)
11) North Carolina (Lost @ #7 Michigan)
12) Kansas State (Lost @ Marquette)
13) Virginia Tech (Lost @ Penn State)
14) Iowa (Lost to #22 Wisconsin)
16) Ohio State (Lost to Syracuse)
17) Texas (Lost to Radford)
18) Oregon (Lost to Texas Southern & @ Houston)
19) Purdue (Lost @ #15 FSU & @ #7 Michigan)
24) Maryland (Lost to #4 Virginia)
ARV) Clemson (Lost to Nebraska)
ARV) Creighton (Lost to #1 Gonzaga)
ARV) Indiana (Lost @ #3 Duke)

If I were to guess, Texas, Oregon, Purdue, and Maryland is the most that will fall out, with Texas and Oregon seemingly locks. The next four up in votes received that didn't lose are Arizona State, Furman, LSU, and UCLA. I think Arizona State and LSU seem pretty solid to get in. If it isn't one of those other two, Syracuse and Nebraska both had solid road wins that could allow them to leapfrog some teams, and if any other Big East team does get in I think it would be unbeaten St. John's.

We'll pick up some votes, but it will take at least another week, maybe even two or three, to get back in.

Beat Wisconsin on Saturday and we have a real chance to go undefeated in non-con from there on out.

[LoudMouth]

We have the opportunity to beat two 12's in a row. And maybe even 3 if Buffalo makes the jump after the rodents fall!  We might have a new lucky number...Matt Heldt is fixen it up with the #12

[LoudMouth]

Also three spots out of the rankings. Close in position but not in actual votes received. Still more votes than anticipated for me

Yep, more votes than I thought we'd get.  Also now confident that 2-0 this week will get us in, wasn't so sure before today with the activity around us.
