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

[UWW2MU]

No sure why it says Monday - 10/04/19 but hey that's today! And even better, it's Friday! Thinking they wont come out with the rankings for another month or so but I say 22

Hausergate over reaction causes MU to start with "also receiving votes." 

[real chili 83]

We finish numero uno.

[Dr. Blackheart]

We finish numero uno.

Primero like El Primero

[JakeBarnes]

Steele has us as 24.

Carino: NR (not included in "others considered")

[tower912]

Edge of the top 25 to start.   Top 15 at some point.

[real chili 83]

Top 10!

[brewcity77]

I think we start around 23-25, but get up into the top-10.

[Pakuni]

Seth Davis places MU 25th in his preseason rankings for The Athletic.

[UWW2MU]

Ben Steele has them at 24 in his draft version.

When does the pre-season AP ballot usually come out?  Week prior to season?

egads. America is drunk.

[brewcity77]

egads. America is drunk.

This exactly. 'Nova is the only one I see being ranked at the end of the year, though I could see as many as 4 Big East teams having a viable claim.

This is the list of all AP voters and where they ranked (or didn't) Marquette, to come up with the 29 number:

I wouldn't draw any conclusions from College Poll Tracker for a little while. Their data is messed up right now. Currently showing MU with 73 points (actually 68), Michigan with 304 (2), Wisconsin 79 (0), and a bunch of other errors. Looks like some leftover information from the 2018-19 season-end poll.

I know it's been said hundreds of times before....but man, look at that top 5 and try to tell me the Devil doesn't run this world.

Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely.

Not only is cheating and horrific scandal not met with justice or even karma....it is apparently directly proportional to success.

SMH.  How many times do we have to go through this?

MU is not #29.  There is no #29.  If every poll voter was in lockstep agreement that MU was #29, how many votes would they get?

Meh... at worst, I see it as the devil inspiring an old trope.  Like the one where ND foosball is always Pre-season Top 25 irrespective of how their previous season ended and who's back (or new) from last season's team.

Any poll among casual basketball fans at this point in the season is probably going to yield the same top 5; it's simply name recognition at this point... wait until the last poll of the season to see if the devil is really peddling.

Agreed, bro.

Good point. It is just a poll. I guess the better way to say it is...
If MSU, Kansas, and Louisville attain instant results and retain the same luster of program success in two years, there is no justice.
