2019-20 National Rankings

[Slalomshocker]

Voters have been looking for a reason to drop Memphis after Wiseman left. They got it, even if it isn't good reasoning. Missing their 2nd leading scorer is a fact that most teams get at least a little bit of a pass for.

Really I dont think anyone knows what to make of the parity in college hoops right now

Number of ? loss Teams:

0 Loss = 2 (San Diego State and Auburn)

1 Loss = 7 (Wichita State, plus six others)

2 Loss = 14 (West Virginia, Memphis, Northern Iowa, SMU, plus 10 others)

3 Loss = 35

Big mover here. Up from 23 to 15

A bit harsh for Memphis, huh?

Yes, I would agree. We want AAC teams in the polls.

College basketball rankings: ...latest Power 36 - NCAA.COM

"Unpredictable will be the word of the season. No team is safe.

But in the Power 36 we’re starting to see the top teams settle in near the top. There was some movement based on how teams looked and played the last week. So, don’t be too offended or upset. The rankings are based on how I see the teams in this snapshot in time and the quality of wins.

Let’s digest and debate:

11. West Virginia (7 previous): The Mountaineers looked strong in the first half, but there is no shame in losing in the second half at Kansas. I fully expect the Mountaineers to beat KU in Morgantown.

20. Memphis (8): The Tigers are facing their first adversity in a month after losing at home to Georgia. How they bounce back with Wichita State looming should say a lot about them in the AAC race.

22. Houston (33): The Cougars are starting to find their groove. Houston has re-emerged as a favorite in the American.

24. Wichita State (24): The Shockers are primed for their showdown with Memphis in the AAC.

33. VCU (NR): The Rams are going to chase Dayton throughout the A-10 and likely be an NCAA tournament team...."

21 for Bozich

Interesting how Katz thinks a home win over UCF has allowed Houston to leapfrog WSU and become the conference favorite.

Interesting decision. I will say, I think it will actually be WSU and UH battling it out for the top spot. I'll have to look at schedules soon.

We could move up a spot or two, but there doesn't seem to be a ton of mobility for us this week unless voters incorrectly drop WVU below us. Most teams directly ahead of us (within 5-10 spots) did not lose this past week, with the exception of Iowa, who lost to Penn St.

Holy over reaction!

Maybe the over-reaction was ever having them in the Top10 to begin with.

Agreed, but fix the error by moving them down to a 20-25 spot, not booting them out entirely. They may not be top 10, but that's a great team that deserves to be in the top 25.
