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

[wadesworld]

Test

Big one coming up tomorrow.

[HouWarrior]

As a "Hou (UH) Warrior (MU)" I have had dual loyalties for decades, but in over 40 years of one or the other being up or down

NEVER NEVER EVER

has both UH and MU BB been in the top 10 at the same time. As my local best friends are teasips, note UT is also in the tup 10.

The Final Four is here in HTown. I am ecstatic.

Except for the final big games this is the happiest I have ever been in my 55 year fandom.

Thank you Houston, Marquette and yes even Texas.

Please do your best to make it a HouWarrior Final Four at NRG.

Happy and Thankful

I'm not surprised that MU moved up a few spots given the tendency of voters to drop teams that lose a game, even if those teams have better overall season resumes. But I'm a lot more interested in where they'll be rated two weeks from now.

I hope you get the Marquette Warriors down your way in about 8 weeks.

As a graduate of both Marquette and Purdue, I am also pretty stoked at college basketball's top 10!

Big miss on the image's part.  There is no 26th (or beyond) ranking.

Love the spelling of "Baler"

Their logo is a baler too. I expect some rivalry shenanigans to be afoot here

ok so that's actually awesome.  I didn't look at it close enough to notice that.

"We also poke fun at the #N team in Week N, so Logo Baler at 14 is not a typo."

Last week #13 was "IOUwa State" So next week, #15 will be a funny.

Clearly I need to pay more attention to what I'm doing

It was on the reddit thread, for which Skat didn't provide a link!

[Farley36]

110.   100 spot drop after this performance.

[LoudMouth]

KenPom update, no change

[tower912]

Lower.

[rocky_warrior]

Dropped from 10 to 14 on Torvik.  Offense didn't change much (still 3 there), but D dropped a bunch, down to 82. 

edit: and now 15/5/85 on Torvik as numbers get crunched. 

[Uncle Rico]

Dropped from 10 to 14 on Torvik.  Offense didn't change much (still 3 there), but D dropped a bunch, down to 82.  Pomeroy's computer hasn't crunched the numbers yet.

Down to 9, still 4 on offense (top 7 are interchangeable) and 59th on defense

[Ben Golds Five]

So... what are we ranked on Monday? I'm guessing since Iowa State and Xavier lost, we only drop a spot or 2.

[zcg2013]

With Kansas State losing today and St Mary's losing (shouts Stan Johnson) to LMU, I'm guessing 11. Baylor will jump us I think.

Yes, but it's likely we jump Tennessee.  I'm guessing we stay at #10.

• #6 Tennessee lost at UR Vanderbilt, lost to UR Missouri
  
• #7 UCLA won at UR Oregon State, playing at UR Oregon
  
• #10 Marquette lost at #21 UConn, won at UR Georgetown
  
• #11 Iowa State lost at UR West Virginia, lost to UR Oklahoma State
  
• #12 Kansas State beat #17 TCU, lost at UR Texas Tech
  
• #13 Xavier lost at UR Butler
  
• #14 Baylor beat UR Oklahoma, won at #17 TCU
  
• #15 St. Mary's lost at UR LMU
  
• #16 Gonzaga beat UR San Francisco, playing UR BYU
  
• #17 TCU lost at #12 KSU, lost to #14 Baylor
  
• #18 Indiana beat #24 Rutgers, won at UR Michigan

I think Baylor will pass us from behind, but Tennessee will fall past us, leaving us at 10. Gonzaga and Indiana will move up, but I doubt enough to pass us.

[MU82]

Agree about staying at #10.

[Daniel]

I think 13- 14. 

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

My guess for tomorrow:

1. Purdue (assuming a win tomorrow at Northwestern, drop to #3 if they lose)
2. Houston
3. Alabama
4. UCLA
5. Kansas
6. Virginia
7. Texas
8. Arizona
9. Baylor
10. Marquette

I think it will be very close between Tennessee and Marquette at 10/11. I think some voters will want to punish Tennessee for losing 3 of their last 4 and move them down significantly. Others will see a team with superior metrics and the same amount of losses as Marquette and keep them higher.

I don't think there are any other leapfrog candidates besides Baylor though Gonzaga and Indiana will both get significantly closer to Marquette. I'd probably slot them at 12/13 behind Tennessee.
