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

[FairWeatherEagle]

I don't think we'll see 7 until after SJ....and top 4 if we only lose 1more. It's possible. We have a path.

At worst we are #7 tomorrow.  Duke and Wisky will not be ahead of us.

Agreed......and I don't think we will be better  than 7 since we won't pass Kansas , Tenn or Houston.

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

I think we will be 6. Voters like to punish teams that lose and reward teams that win. While South Carolina isn't bad, it's still a home loss. If we're not 6, we're 7. I don't see any way we're in the top 5 or outside the top 7

1. UConn
2. Purdue
3. Kansas
4. Houston
5. North Carolina
6. Marquette
7. Tennessee
8. Arizona
9. Duke
10. Illinois
11. Auburn
12. Wisconsin
13. Iowa State
14. Baylor
15. Alabama
16. Creighton
17. South Carolina
18. Kentucky
19. FAU
20. Dayton
21. BYU
22. Utah State
23. Texas Tech
24. New Mexico
25. Texas

Borzello has Marquette 5th in his ESPN power rankings.

I think Wisconsin falls a little further than 12.  They lost twice though one was to Purdue but on their home floor.  I have them at 14.  Their saving grace might be that 3 of the 10-15 teams also lost.  I think UNC is at 4 as they lost but then beat Duke. Houston got smoked.  I think MU lands at 7 since Tennessee won at @UK.

Houston is finding out what it's like to play in a real conference

I had them at 14 and then changed my mind fearing anti-Bucky bias

Houston is still number 1 at KenPom by a wide margin.

[Uncle Rico]

Houston is still number 1 at KenPom by a wide margin.

And a top-5 ranked team. 

[BallBoy]

Houston is still number 1 at KenPom by a wide margin.

They played one of the easiest non-conference schedules of the top 10 teams. They are 1-3 against the top teams in the Big 12 and 2-3 against the current top 25.

[MarquetteMike1977]

Guessing 7th but hopefully 6th

[wadesworld]

They played one of the easiest non-conference schedules of the top 10 teams. They are 1-3 against the top teams in the Big 12 and 2-3 against the current top 25.

And all 3 of those losses have come on the road.

Kansas has yet to lose at home, Iowa State has yet to lose at home, and TCU has 2 home losses.

Everyone is losing on the road this year.  Houston is great.  Purdue is great.  UCONN is great.

Seth Davis moved MU down from 8 to 9 this week.

Knocked Wisconsin down a whole 1 spot from 6 to 7 as a penalty for their 0-2 week.

What an odd ballot.

[Jay Bee]

What an odd ballot person.

He ignores results of games and does his ballot primarily for shock value and to generate clicks. He had Michigan state ranked like #15 when they were 5-5.

Lmao someone changed Seth's wiki page

UNC staying at #3 is a complete joke. 

[lawdog77]

UNC staying at #3 is a complete joke.

They lost 70 points. Problem is, everyone else around them lost, as well. Who would you put there?

Kansas.

[Its DJOver]

Muggsy finding new ways to be outraged every week.

My only question would be how Gonzaga got any votes at all.

[Galway Eagle]

Would be tough to get to #5 by the time we play UConn. Kansas has a tough week but Tennessee and Houston don't. Beat SJU and we'll still have a top 10 matchup on the 17th.

I unfollowed him on Twitter because he always would post his ballot and invite the "trolls" who would question him on his picks. I think a bad ballot is part of his schtick. Or at least a few hot tales are.
