23. I think MSU, AZ and LSU fall out.

Could possibly leapfrog Oregon and IL given a 0-2 week for the ducks and 0-1 for IL.

Agree, my bad for improper use of the language. May I be beaten with a ream of "live copy."

(and I'll faint if anyone knows where the reference to live copy came from).

Beat Nova on Wednesday and in the top 20 the following week.

Villanova has lost three straight, including their last two home games. Plus, we beat them already. This may be the tallest order of the year. The good news is we are going to get their best shot, and that can only improve us looking toward March.

I'd rather not be ranked going into Nova

I'm pretty sure we are going to get everyone's best shot from here forward. That being said, hard to win at VU—but this is the year to try it.

I like the setup going into the Nova game. Much more balanced scoring from MU lately. I think we grab a nice road win @Nova.

Doesnt count for this but ESPN power rankings have us "in the waiting room"

They only do top 16 so we are at like 19 on that.

Wow.  MU debuts at no. 20 on this ballot.

5 BEast teams crack his top 25. Nice.

Hey lets play harder, they are ranked.  Words of a manager.

I'd rather be ranked #1 going into Nova.

I am the only one who realizes the absurdity of this comment? You do realize you are effectively saying " I'd prefer we weren't playing this well". I mean that's what that is. I'd prefer we lost a few more games to avoid the ranking because Villanova will play extra hard if they find out were ranked tomorrow. If we aren't ranked I dont think they'll even bother preparing for the game and we win in a blowout..

Real life and that of 18-22 year olds in basketball is much different.  Sometimes rankings = "we made it" and that's the concern.  A coach can preach and preach and it doesn't matter because they have been recognized.  It takes a mature group to put that in the proper perspective.

This I would agree with, but first time ranked going on the road to Nova....not so much.

Wrong thread.

I'd rather be ranked, and beat the livin' piss out of them.

[mubb3434]

Seth Davis has us at 15. Welcome to the top 25 MU!

Berman has us at 20 after being unranked

Well, our leaders are a 4year starter All American, a 5th year senior, a 4th year junior and a 22.5 year old sophomore. I think we're pretty mature.
