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

[Dickthedribbler]

Dick Vitale has Marquette 4th this week behind

1. Houston
2. Kansas
3. UCLA

What? With that foursome it looks like a travel back in time to the early 1970s.

Sometimes I think that's where he's living. Does his vote count in the poll?

Well we have some diaper dandies so that counts for at least +2 spots in the ranking.

Ahh Dickie V, has Duke 10 spots above the actual vote. Classic. He's kind of like Punxsutawney Phil, just a fun old tradition that doesn't make sense.

Maybe Duke can do a fake national championship celebration to make him feel good. He'd never know.

[JakeBarnes]

Borges at 6.

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

My guess for tomorrow:

1. Houston
2. UCLA
3. Kansas
4. Alabama
5. Purdue
6. Marquette

Borges at 6.

No change for MU (6 last week for him) on his ballot... but he had Purdue leap from 7 to 5 swapping places with KState so hurts the cause in catching them.

1. Houston
2. UCLA
3. Kansas
4. Alabama
5. Purdue
6. Marquette

That's some tough company, I'm going with 5.

[TallTitan34]

Rothstein keeps us at 6.

Shaka Smart, Reincarnation.

Quick, fire up the t shirt press.

#9 in the ESPN power rankings.

What's ridiculous is that even though we're ranked 6th, teams that are ranked below us AND lost yesterday are still on the 2 seed line above us in the bracket updates this morning. Pretty much nobody has us as a 2, looking like we need to win BET to get a 2. If we lose in the BET finals we still definitely deserve a 2 sees but won't get one

For a comparison, last year the bracketologist consensus was that Duke losing in the ACC Semis while Tennessee won the SEC Tournament would push Tennessee ahead of Duke for the last 2-seed. But because games after Friday definitely don't matter, that didn't happen. Duke stayed a 2, Tennessee stayed a 3. I don't think we move up because Championship Week results simply don't mean as much. The Top-16 will likely be voted and set by Wednesday or Thursday at the latest.

The year Uconn won it back in 2011 the Huskies were a 6 seed at best before they were through the BET and beat literally 3 1 seeds. That boosted them from a 6 to a 3 seed in the NCAA tournament.

The 2011 Big East was also arguably the best league ever put together.

Who would argue that?

[Galway Eagle]

Who would argue that?

The B12 might say they're better top to bottom this year.

[WhiteTrash]

Ok, that is fair. I still think the 2013 is better (11 teams in the NCAA)

[TallTitan34]

Bozich keeps us at 5.

[TallTitan34]

Collier keeps us at 7.

[TallTitan34]

Carino drops us to 6 from 5.

[JakeBarnes]

Davis at 6 up from 8 last week.
